CHICKEN TORTAS (MEXICAN SANDWICHES)
This is an easy and delicious Mexican sandwich that is served all over here in San Diego. You start with the famous soft oblong Mexican sandwich bread roll called "Bolillos" but any soft sandwich roll will do. It's sort of a burrito on a bun. You can also make them with seasoned ground or shredded beef (leftover taco meat perhaps?). I hope you like them!

CHICKEN TORTAS
Although this recipe for this sandwich from south of the border has been slightly altered, the original was found in the 2004 Healthy Latino Recipes Made with Love. The original recipe called for bolillos or French bread rolls, but I much prefer a dense, whole wheat bread. NOTE: I also have a posted recipe that can be used here -- recipe #368785 #368785.
