About Beef tortas
Beef tortas are a classic Mexican sandwich featuring a variety of bold flavors and satisfying textures. They typically include seasoned and grilled beef, such as carne asada, layered on a soft bolillo or telera roll. Common toppings include refried beans, avocado slices, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickled jalapeños, and creamy spreads like mayonnaise or sour cream. Originating in Mexico, tortas are a popular street food staple enjoyed for their versatility. While the fresh vegetables and lean cuts of beef provide essential nutrients like protein, fiber, and healthy fats, the dish can be calorie-dense depending on oils, spreads, and fried accompaniments. For a lighter option, trimming excess cheese, opting for whole-grain rolls, or balancing portion sizes can make this vibrant meal fit into a balanced diet.
