I never thought that meat, salt, air and time could makes something so incredible. I just finished making this torta and it is spectacular! Gracias, Pati for introducing me to something new!

Pati, this was an awesome sandwich! The smoky guacamole was exactly the right “zip” with the salty meat and mild beans. The only change I would make is to put the cheese on the bread while it is toasting, so it can melt. This is a real winner!

Hi Pati, I love your show so much! It brings my husband and I so much joy watching you. I was wondering, what is the best substitute for Oaxaca cheese?
Gracias!

Thanks Sara to you and your husband for tuning in! For this torta, I would substitute Oaxaca cheese with fresh Mozzarella, you can read a bit more about this here: http://patijinich.com/pati_2020/oaxaca_cheese/

I made this today. Yum, yum, yum!!! I made the bread using a new recipe for po-boy bread. I made the Smoky guacamole using ripe jalapeños from my garden. I’m sending this recipe to all of my friends that love good food. I’ll be making this again real soon. And figure out how to make a chicken version. Thanks Pati.

Just made this yesterday and it is delicious!! The recipes for the Tasajo, refried beans, and smoky guacamole are now permanent go-to’s in my recipe box. My only failure was that I didn’t have bolillos or Oaxaca cheese so I substituted flour tortillas and mozzarella cheese which were the closest substitutes I had on hand. Even with these slight changes I was very happy, but will be getting to the market today to get the proper ingredients for the leftovers at lunch. Thanks Pati! Really enjoy your television show on PBS too!
