The Cheesy Choriqueso Torta

Rick Bayless There are so many great tortas–from the crazy good chilaquiles torta with milanesa from the famous vendor in Mexico City to a meat-loaded torta cubana from pretty much any torteria. But this one, packed with gooey cheese and chorizo, may just be my favorite. It’s classic with a smear of beans on the bottom and another of mayo on the top. But it’s the pickled jalapeño and avocado that really make it sing. If (when) you fall in love with it, you’ll likely be motivated to make homemade teleras to sandwich all this deliciousness. Torta de Choriqueso are typically made in torterias that make tortas a la plancha, tortas made on huge griddles. The cooks split and toast the teleras on the griddle, then scatter on the chorizo and cheese, working the two together until melty, even a little crispy on the edges.
