Tasty Torta

You may be wondering what a Torta is? ..... Well a Mexican torta is a hearty sandwich  filled with what you would normally put in a taco, but you don't use a tortilla you go for a crusty roll instead. 

So maybe you have cooked Chicken Mole the night before, or had burritos and you happen to have left overs? 

 Well Torta's are the answer.

I cooked Mole`last night with refried beans and Mexican rice, the Mole`was made with chicken drumsticks but you can use just about anything, pulled pork and shredded cabbage, refried beans, fetta cheese and thinly sliced onion. Just use your imagination and your left overs!

Here is what you do. 

  1. Cut the chicken off the bones in to smallish pieces and pop it all back in the left over sauce
  2. Place the chicken and sauce in a saucepan to re heat, or microwave it. 
  3. Heat a crusty roll in the oven, ciabatta is good. 
  4. heat the refried beans 
  5. When everything is heated, slice the roll through the middle and spread with the refried beans, then spoon in the warmed Mole` add some jalapeño s and lettuce if you like and serve.
