The Cheesy Choriqueso Torta

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.

    Rick Bayless is the Bob Ross of cooking. I've been following him since he was on PBS many many years ago and his passion for Mexican cuisine really comes through. Might have to give this recipe a try, it looks really good!

    Me too. The most surprising thing about Rick isn't that he isn't Mexican at is that he never married one. I had always imagined he fell in love with a Mexicana and got himself immersed in the culture 😮

    Rick I love your videos thanks so much. I have a friend who is an emergency room doctor, he told me the most common accident that he sees in the er is knife cuts from people trying to remove the avocado pit like you did here, and they miss. And slice their palm. I put it down on the table ever since I heard this.

    I suggest that your camera person zooms in REALLY REALLY CLOSE to the finish product and when U are cutting it and see textures up close. We wait FOR THAT!! Specially at the end, show the masterpiece VERY UP CLOSE!!!
