Chicken Tortas
I'm not usually one to make a meal that doesn't provide ample leftovers for lunches and future meals (unless it's seafood - I usually plan on those meals lasting just one meal). However, we'd gotten some torta rolls, so I figured I'd switch it up and make something more fun!
Tortas are like Mexican paninis. But don't worry if you don't have a panini press. I don't either! Instead, I used a cast iron skillet to press the tortas. For the filling, I used chicken thighs since I prefer them. You could also use chicken breasts. Maybe use a bit more avocado in that case. :) Then I topped the chicken with creamy avoado, juicy tomato, savory queso fresco, red onion, and a bit of cilantro. Slather some Sour Cream Lime Dressing on top, then put the torta top on, press with a heavy pot (cast iron or a pan weighted with water also work well), and you're just about ready to gobble!What are some of your favorite torta fillings?
