Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bolillo bread rolls
- 2 pieces Skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup Low-fat refried beans
- 1 piece Avocado
- 1 medium piece Tomato
- 0.5 medium piece Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 piece Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the chicken breasts for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, halve the bolillo rolls and lightly toast them on a separate grill pan or toaster.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop out the flesh. Mash the avocado with a fork in a small bowl and season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices.
To assemble the torta, spread a thin layer of low-fat refried beans on the bottom half of each bolillo roll.
Layer sliced chicken, mashed avocado, tomato slices, red onion slices, and fresh cilantro leaves over the refried beans.
Place a piece of lettuce leaf on each torta and cover with the top half of the toasted bolillo roll.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat Mexican Torta!
