Drowned Carnitas Bread Rolls (Tortas Ahogadas)

Ingredients

A Torta Ahogada is a traditional Mexican sandwich from the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco.

It consists of a bolillo (a type of crusty white bread like a Portuguese roll) filled with pork, refried beans and sometimes avocado or cheese. The roll is ‘drowned’ in a spicy tomato salsa, making it a flavourful and quite messy dish; but worth the mess!!!
