CHICKEN TORTAS (MEXICAN SANDWICHES)



Chicken Tortas (Mexican sandwiches) image

This is an easy and delicious Mexican sandwich that is served all over here in San Diego. You start with the famous soft oblong Mexican sandwich bread roll called "Bolillos" but any soft sandwich roll will do. It's sort of a burrito on a bun. You can also make them with seasoned ground or shredded beef (leftover taco meat perhaps?). I hope you like them!

HEALTHIER CHICKEN "TORTAS"



Healthier Chicken

My boyfriend became addicted to the tortas they served at a little taco stand by his old place in LA. I created this healthier version to satisfy his cravings at home. He loves them. Of course nothing truly compares to that awesome, authentic torta roll, but the rest of the ingredients are fairly authentic. The toasted whole wheat bread works just fine for us...as long as all of our fixins are present, we're golden. :-) Prep time does not include marinating time.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 6 sandwiches, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
2 avocados, smashed
sliced onion
shredded lettuce
hot sauce (I typically just use the rest of the El Pato sauce)
12 slices whole wheat bread, toasted (use the "large" loaves, like Oro Wheat)

Steps:

  • MARINATE:.
  • Mix together the tomato sauce, olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
  • Pour over the chicken, turning once to coat.

  • Let cool slightly and shred with a fork.
  • SERVE:.
  • For each sandwich, spread avocado on the insides of both pieces of bread.
  • Top with shredded chicken, onion, lettuce, and hot sauce.
