Torta is a traditional Mexican sandwich that combines bold flavors and hearty ingredients. It typically consists of a crusty bolillo or telera roll filled with a variety of proteins such as grilled chicken, beef, pork, or eggs, along with avocado, beans, onions, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Optional toppings like jalapeños, mayonnaise, or salsa enhance its flavor profile. Tortas are popular for their versatility, allowing for both classic and creative combinations. While nutritionally dense due to its inclusion of vegetables, beans, and lean proteins, the calorie count can increase depending on cheese, sauces, and fried components like breaded meat. Choosing whole-grain bread and lighter toppings can make a torta a more balanced option. Rich in protein and fiber, but often high in carbohydrates and fats, a torta can suit a range of dietary preferences with mindful ingredient selection.
