Ingredients

4 tablespoon black refried beans
1 roll Bolillo or telera
1 teaspoon mayonaise
2 sliced baked ham
1 slice queso fresco
2 slices avocado
2 slices tomato
1 leaf romain lettuce

Instructions

First, we need to have some refried beans. To do so, mash some cooked beans and fry them in a pan. They need to be mashed first and then fried with some onion, to give them some taste.
Now a good bread for a Mexican torta is the french bread, open your bread by making a slit in one of its sides. Spread some mayonnaise in one of the slices and the refried beans on the other.
Now place the fillings of your choice, in this case, I used ham and fresh cheese. Add sliced tomatoes, avocado, and pickled jalapeño peppers. (You can get them canned at any Latin store.)
Add lettuce and you’re all done.
