Tasajo Torta with Smoky Guacamole recipe from Pati's Mexican Table Season 6, Episode 1 "One Day in Oaxaca"
Ingredients
- 6 Mexican bolillos or telera rolls, or 3-4” long pieces of baguette
- 1 cup refried beans
- 2 pounds cooked Tasajo
- 1 cup Oaxaca cheese, shredded
- 6 slices of tomato
- 1 recipe Smoky Guacamole
To Prepare
- Slice the bread in half. Toast under the broiler, on the grill, or on a hot comal until warmed and slightly browned. Remove from heat.
- Spread refried beans on each of the bottom half of each roll. On top of the refried beans, place the meat, shredded cheese, a tomato slice and a generous dollop of the guacamole. Top with the other toasted bread half and serve!
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: https://patijinich.com/oaxaca_cheese/
Mucho gracias Pati – we are planning on making this today 🙂
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.
Your bread sounds yum, Nonna!
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!
That’s great that they are now your go-to recipes, Mike!
Made this tonight and it was wonderful! We will have it again.
Yay!
