With its roots dating back to the 19th century, Torta has become an essential Mexican street food staple that has made its way around the world, loved by many. Let’s delve into the history and origin of Torta, the types of Torta, and its ingredients.

The history of Torta dates back to the late 1800s when a French-owned bakery established itself in Mexico city. It is believed that the French bakers created the Torta Blanco to cater to the French and Mexican workers in the city. However, over the years, Mexicans have made Torta Blanco their own dish, using different and exciting ingredients to create unique tastes and flavors.

There are different types of Torta, which vary depending on the region of Mexico. However, the most common Torta are the Torta de Jamon, Torta Ahogada, and the Torta de Chorizo. The Torta de Jamon has ham as its principal ingredient, and it is usually accompanied by white cheese, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. The Torta Ahogada which means drowned in Spanish, originates from the city of Guadalajara. This sandwich combines spicy pork, black beans, onion, and avocado; then it is topped with a spicy tomato sauce. The Torta de Chorizo, as the name suggests, uses chorizo, a spicy sausage made from pork meat, along with beans, avocado, and cheese, among other ingredients.

The ingredients of Torta vary widely depending on the type of Torta one wants to make. However, some of the common ingredients include bread, meats (like ham or chorizo), vegetables (such as tomatoes, onions, and lettuce), cheese, and sauces like mayonnaise or spicy tomato sauce, to give it a tangy taste.

To make a Torta, start by slicing the bread in half and toasting each side. Once toasted, spread mayonnaise or any other sauce of your choice on the bread, followed by the meat; it could be ham, chorizo, or any other meat of your liking. Next, add vegetables such as sliced tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and avocado. Finally, top it off with cheese and sauce, then close the bread and enjoy the delectable sandwich. Torta is mostly enjoyed with a side of potato chips or fries, and a cold beer or soda.
