Chicken Torta Sandwich
Enjoy a delicious Chicken Torta Sandwich filled with shredded chicken, zesty toppings, and melted cheese.
Equipment
- Griddle For toasting and cooking the chicken mixture.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 rolls bolillo rolls
- 1 whole rotisserie chicken
- 1 can green chiles
- 1 can pickled jalapeños
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese more if desired
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 whole white onion, diced
- 0.5 head iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp taco or fajita seasoning to taste
- 1 tbsp avocado oil for the griddle
Instructions
- Start by pulling all the meat and skin off the rotisserie chicken. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Preheat your griddle to medium heat. Drizzle avocado oil over the griddle to prevent sticking.
- Add the shredded chicken, green chiles, and pickled jalapeños to the griddle. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the mixture and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the flavors meld together.
- Once the chicken is warmed through, add the diced tomato and shredded cheese. Mix well, allowing the cheese to melt and become golden and crispy in some spots. This adds a wonderful texture to your sandwich.
- While the chicken mixture is cooking, slather mayonnaise on both sides of each bolillo roll. Place the rolls on the griddle and toast for about 2 minutes, then flip to toast the other side. A crispy roll makes all the difference!
- Using spatulas, place the cooked chicken mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bolillo.
- Top the chicken with shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, and diced onions. Place the other half of the toasted bolillo on top to complete the sandwich.
- Cut the sandwiches in half to serve and enjoy! These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but you can wrap leftovers for later.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of taco seasoning to suit your taste. You can also add other toppings like sliced avocado or extra cheese for a richer flavor. No alcoholic drinks allowed, please substitute with a non-alcoholic option.
