A "torta" is a type of sandwich commonly found in Mexican cuisine. It typically consists of a crusty bread roll, often made from white flour, filled with various ingredients such as meats, beans, cheese, avocado, and vegetables. Tortas can be served hot or cold and are popular street food in Mexico. In addition to the traditional fillings, tortas can also include sauces and salsas for added flavor. They are often enjoyed with a side of frijoles (beans) or papas fritas (fried potatoes). Tortas are versatile and can be customized to suit individual tastes, making them a favorite among many.
