Ingredients

• 250 grams Mexican chorizo
• 400 grams Canned black beans
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Small onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 4 Torta rolls (or bolillo rolls)
• 1 Avocado, sliced
• 1 handful Fresh cilantro leaves
• 50 grams Pickled jalapeños
• 100 grams Queso fresco, crumbled
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
• 1 Lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until fully browned and cooked through. Remove chorizo from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add olive oil. Once hot, add diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to the skillet with the cooked onion and garlic. Stir in salt and ground cumin. Mash the beans slightly with the back of a spoon or potato masher, leaving some beans whole for texture. Cook the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Preheat your broiler (or a toaster oven). Slice the torta rolls in half and lightly toast them until golden brown and crisp.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each side of the toasted rolls. Optional: mix hot sauce into the mayonnaise before spreading for added heat.

Step 6

Assemble the tortas by layering spoonfuls of the mashed black beans onto the bottom half of each roll. Follow with a generous portion of cooked chorizo, sliced avocado, fresh cilantro leaves, pickled jalapeños, and a sprinkle of crumbled queso fresco.

Step 7

Top each sandwich with the upper half of the roll. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the sandwich just before eating.

Step 8

Enjoy your delicious Tortas Black Beans Chorizo Subs warm!
