Torta de Chorizo
Ingredients
2 large fresh Mexican chorizo sausages, casing removed (about 8 oz/225 g)
19-oz (540-mL) can of black beans, undrained
4 bolillo rolls, crusty French rolls or submarine sandwich rolls (about 7 inches by 3 inches), sliced open vegetable or olive oil for brushing buns
6 oz (175 g) Mexican queso fresco or panela, or other fresh cheese such as feta or goat, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 avocado, cut in 1/4-inch slices
3/4 cup of our Delicioso Food Chipotle Sauce
Preparation
Add the Delicioso Food Chipotle Sauce in a non-stick skillet over medium. Add chorizo. Cook, breaking up clumps, until browned and thoroughly cooked, about 8 minutes. Add beans. As they come to simmer, mash until beans are very smooth with potato masher. Cook, stirring frequently, 10 minutes or until consistency of very soft mashed potatoes. Keep warm. (Makes about 2-1/2 cups.)
If desired, use fingers to scrape out some soft bread from the centre of each bread half, making small hollows. Brush insides of buns with oil. Lay, cut side down, in a large skillet heated over medium. Cook, in batches if needed, until crisp and golden, about 2 minutes.
Smear about 1/2 cup chorizo mixture over the bottom half of each roll. (Cover and refrigerate any extra for another use.). Top each with slices of cheese and avocado. Top with more of our Delicioso Food Chipotle Sauce for additional taste. Add bun tops.
Makes 4 tortas.
