I decided to combine these two basic dishes into one "recipe" since both are so easy and have something in common... the original recipes they are based from are both often sold by street vendors in Mexico and Mexican influenced areas. Read more I used homemade chorizo in this at the recommendation of a friend on how to use some up! Thanks, again, LB! :) See less
Ingredients
For Torta
- 2lbs raw Mexican style chorizo ( Mexican Chorizo De Puebla ) shopping list
- 2 cups prepared guacamole(I made my own and made it slightly less "smooth" in order to get some larger pieces in the sandwich:) shopping list
- 1 can or 2 cups homemade, refried beans, warmed shopping list
- 6 round slices queso fresco cheese, halved shopping list
- 1/2 cup Cotija, grated shopping list
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped shopping list
- 6 6-inch Bolillo, or similar, rolls, halved to make sandwich shopping list
For Esquites
- 6 medium ears corn on the cob(previously grilled is fine, just skip the roasting step) shopping list
- 1 large onion, diced shopping list
- 2 jalapenos or similar pepper, diced shopping list
- 1 lime shopping list
- 1/2 cup butter shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
How to make it
For Torta
- In medium skillet(I use cast iron), brown chorizo
- Spread moderate amount of guacamole on one side of one piece of bread See Photo
- Add slices of queso fresco See Photo
- Add warmed meat
- On other slice of bread, spread thin layer of refried beans
- Top those with 3T Cotija and 2T cilantro See Photo
- *other toppings like tomatoes, olives, lettuce, etc can also be added, if desired
For Esquites
- If using raw corn place partially shucked(silks removed and husks removed down to innermost layers) ears on oven rack and let roast dry for about 20 minutes at 350 See Photo
- When done, carefully remove remaining husks and cut corn from cobs See Photo
