Mexican Torta Recipe

Ingredients

Makes 2

  • 2 cooking chorizo sausages
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 lime
  • 1 tsp chipotle flakes, or 1 chipotle chili, finely chopped, or 1 fresh red chili, finely chopped About 1 heaped tbsp roughly chopped fresh cilantro (coriander) Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 Mexican rolls such as bolillo or telera, or 2 lengths of soft-ish white baguette, or 2 ciabatta rolls (hardly authentic, the latter, but sturdy enough to contain all that filling)
  • 2 tbsp canned refried beans

Method

  1. Set a frying pan or ridged griddle pan over a medium-high heat
  2. Split the chorizo sausages in half lengthwise, place them in the dry pan, cut-side down, and cook until crisp and beginning to char
  3. Flip them over and cook the other side
  4. Meanwhile, make a tomato salsa by mixing the diced tomato and red onion with the juice of ½ a lime, the chipotle chili, and cilantro (coriander)
  5. Season with salt and pepper
  6. Halve, pit (stone), and peel the avocado
  7. In a separate bowl, mash the avocado and mix it with a squeeze of lime juice
  8. Cut the rol s in half and lightly toast them
  9. Dip the cut side of each rol into the chorizo pan, to coat with some of the chorizo fat that has leached out during cooking
  10. Spread one half of each rol with a layer of mashed avocado, then add the chorizo sausages
  11. Top with the tomato salsa
  12. Spread the other half of each rol with the refried beans and use them to top the sandwiches
  13. Serve immediately
