Torta Cubana
From 'Comida Mexicana' by Rosa Cienfuegos
All the ingredients of the torta stall are used to make this monster sandwich, so make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand to clean up the mess.Ingredients:
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 large telera
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp whole-egg mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp refried beans, black or pinto
- 1 avocado, mashed
- ½ tomato, sliced
- ¼ white onion, thinly sliced
- 6 ham slices
- 1 veal schnitzel, sliced
- 50g roast pork, sliced
- 20g stringed Oaxaca cheese
- 20g Manchego cheese, sliced
- 20g American cheese, sliced
- Pinch of salt
- Chipotle in adobo, chopped, to taste
Recipe:
- Heat the oil in a small frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the beaten egg and swirl to coat the base of the pan, then cook for 1-2 minutes until the egg starts to set. Fold the omelette in half, cook for a few more seconds, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Slice the telera roll in half. Spread the butter on one side, and the mayonnaise on the other side.
- Heat a frying pan over a low heat. Place the buttered half of the roll butter side down in the pan, and the other half mayo side up in the pan. Once the buttered half is lightly toasted, flip it over and spread the refried beans over the top. Lightly toast, then remove both roll halves from the pan.
- Spread the avocado over the mayonnaise and top with the tomato, onion, and salt.
- Preheat a grill to high.
- Layer the meat and cheese on top of each other, then grill until the cheese starts to melt. Scoop the meat and melted cheese onto the onion, and top with the omelette. Add the chipotles to taste.
- Close the roll halves together, slice in half, and enjoy!
