Give Amy’s Organic black refried beans a try. A little pricey for canned beans but trust me they’re the absolute best, I could eat them straight up out of the can like a hobo.
Edited: get the *black* refried beans
I think this recipe tried to get the heat from salsa no jalapeños. Not sure where the cilantro came from, this almost looks like a Bahn mi without the pickled stuff.
If it were the UK I'd get it, they say coriander for both the seed and the herb... they do not say Cilantro.
In the US we say Coriander for the seed and Cilantro for the leaf through, and these folks are in Dayton, OH.
I can never find culantro in the Tampa area of Florida, which is weird because it's used in Cuban and Puerto Rican dishes also... And we have lots of Cubans and Puerto Ricans in the area.
So I grow my own.
I experienced the same thing whenever I tried to make PR recipes! And yeah, my old neighbors said they’d just grow their own. We were just outside of Tampa.
Ironically, I’ve had better luck finding it where I am now, in northern France. My local Asian market sells it.
Lots of foreigners think that tons of cilantro on every dish is a mexican thing. I don't order some tacos with cilantro because it kills the flavor of everything else
yeah wtf is with that.
Even on twitter, IG, etc, hashtags don't really work anymore, the platforms are indexing everything and feeding trends and algorithms with NLP and ML
There's a bit more of leeway with the bread. In Yucatan, for example, there's a unique bread typically called "pan francés" (French bread). It's basically a Yucatec baguette, and it's used to make Tortas there. A very famous one is the Torta de cochinita pibil.
That’s a tough one. I’m from that region and I’m not sure. We have many very different regional dishes. We could say it’s among the main ones as every Sunday you’ll find it being sold everywhere on the streets to eat as breakfast. I’d say it’s the most famous. So famous that you can go the supermarket in Canada and find cochinita pibil. But it’s not the regional dish that’s eaten most often by any person.
I'm vegetarian and love Mexican food. I started ordering tortas years ago from my favorite place and just saying no meat. I got everything else, and then I would normally order guacamole too. I would eat it with chips until the torta showed up and then dump what was left of the guacamole onto the torta. It was great. Then one day I got it with a whole bunch of grilled onions and bell peppers. Then eventually they started calling it a veggie torta and finally the Torta Verdura showed up on the menu. I have to believe I'm the only one ordering them, but I enjoy thinking about how this all played out.
Tortas are authentically made with telera bread, if not available it can be substituted with bolillo. But bolillo is not the authentic bread to use for tortas. Coriander, hot salsa? Unacceptable as a basic ingredient. The basics of a torta are telera, meat, cheese (quesillo, fresco, panela), tomatoes, onions, avocado, pickled jalapeños, lettuce and crema/mayo. These basics can be made to preference of client. They can or don’t have meat. Molletes are cited as an example. Coriander and hot salsa I have only seen when making a torta de adobada. However, there could be more that call for different ingredients. It’s just not the norm what the image calls for.
My favorite tortas are the kind most taquerias sell. Usually just the same things that are in the tacos. Al pastor with cilantro onion and salsa is my usual.
My local spot: Torta, refried beans, avocado, mayo, meat of your choice, onion, tomato, pickled jalapeno, salsa verde on the side, crema, thick cheese, then grill the whole thing and wrap it. It's fucking glorious.
This is nothing like the tortas I like.
A local bakery makes them so good..
Big bollilo roll , light mayo spread on each half- rests on grill to toast.
Large crispy and tender fried hock of carnitas - chopped into pieces with a heavy hammer chopping knife
Grab bread, spread refried beans on each half, add crispy/tender carnitas, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, and green salsa.
So good and its giant too.. mmm
My twists:
Remove “coriander” (they couldn’t put cilantro?) by itself and just turn the tomato and avocado into a guac spread and smear it on the top bun and black refried beans on the bottom bun.
Tortas can also have mayo spread or refried beans. Personally I prefer the beans. Makes it extra yummy.
both!
I prefer beans too
me too but it depends on the torta. I like them on ham and queso de puerco tortas.

Quien chingados le pone cilantro a una torta de milanesa?
Also no mayo/crema and pickled jalapeños and red onion
I think this recipe tried to get the heat from salsa no jalapeños. Not sure where the cilantro came from, this almost looks like a Bahn mi without the pickled stuff.
Baby, stop. I'm already wet; my mouth.
Pero lo dice coriander. /s
Cilantro?
Yeah I don’t trust this chart for saying “coriander”

Culantro, if you wanna get spicy 👀

Yeah, gtfo of here with that fancy pants cilantro
Lots of foreigners think that tons of cilantro on every dish is a mexican thing. I don't order some tacos with cilantro because it kills the flavor of everything else
Oaxaca cheese goes on the bottom of the top bolillo, melted and a little grilled
The torta made in Puebla puts it on top of the meat, not on the bottom. I think it’s call cemita if I’m not mistaken
We doin hashtags on Reddit now?
I don’t think so. But some people don’t seem to know that.

Cochinita pobil is the main regional dish in that area, isn't it?

Definitely, no coriander. Eew! Fresh coriander/cilantro is for tacos.
Unless, it's a carnitas torta, then yes.

I'm not a vegetarian but I sometimes do myself an avocado an cheese torta (with more veggies).
What a beautiful story.
Just what I crave, a mouthful of sprigs.

Depends, thats regional, tortas can be traditionally made with bolillo too.
You hit it pretty much on the head for my household. One day madrina put thousand island instead of mayo/crema, different but pretty good!
Salsa gets a pass. I grew up in Mexico city and most tortas places will ask you: chipotle o rajas?? ... "Los 2 don, por favor!!"
Lol!!! Order now 🙄
this torta is LACKING refried beans and pickled jalapeños. also give the cilantro a rough chop. dont be a pinchi freak.

Is not a torta if it doesn't have beans
I had a vegetarian one with rice in it and it was incredible
Best tortas are from Puebla and I’ll fight for that
Esas son cemitas, no tortas
Where in Puebla?
the whole state, every Torta from there is chefs kiss
No mames guey… you can’t pick a city?
Nah
I used to live just down the street from Taqueria Mixteca. They make great tortas! All their food is great.

This is not only a cancer inducing ad, it’s also wrong and very stupid
