Tortas are the unsung heroes of the taco stand, with all the flavor of their tortilla-wrapped cousins, but with the booze-sponging power of a hearty sandwich.
And the favorite torta of Mexico might just be the milanesa: a bolillo roll topped with smashed avocado and beans, then stuffed with panko-breaded chicken cutlets, pickled jalapeños, and gooey Monterrey Jack to give you that perfect crunchy-crispy-melty-spicy experience.
It's good enough to travel across miles worth of street corners to find, but thanks to rick_bayless's recipe in bio, you don't have to leave your kitchen.
The simple, beloved sandwich: it's kind of wild how much good stuff can fit between two slices of bread, which is why we're celebrating
