About Torta carnitas
A Torta Carnitas is a hearty Mexican sandwich that features tender, slow-cooked pork carnitas as its star ingredient. Typically served on a fluffy bolillo or telera roll, it is layered with refried beans, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and a spread of mayonnaise or crema. Optional toppings include pickled jalapeños or melted cheese for added flavor. Originating in Mexico, this dish highlights the richness of traditional Mexican street food. While loaded with protein from the pork, its nutritional profile varies depending on preparation methods and additional toppings. Carnitas cooked with less oil and paired with plenty of fresh vegetables can make it a more balanced option, though the bread and high-fat condiments can increase calorie content. For a healthier version, opt for whole-grain bread, skip the mayo, and pile on extra veggies.
