About Torta sandwich

A Torta sandwich is a popular Mexican dish featuring a savory filling nestled inside a crusty bolillo or telera roll. Traditional fillings range from shredded meats like carnitas or chicken, to steak, chorizo, or refried beans, often topped with fresh avocado slices, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and a creamy spread such as mayonnaise or sour cream. The sandwich may include melted cheese and is sometimes griddled or toasted for extra flavor. While it offers protein, vitamins from fresh vegetables, and healthy fats from avocado, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation. Deep-fried fillings or excessive use of oils and heavy spreads may add saturated fats and calories. Opting for lean meats, whole-grain bread, and fresh toppings enhances its nutritional benefits, making it a versatile meal choice that can range from indulgent to health-conscious depending on how it's made.
