Pork torta
Pork second courses
My husband lived in Tijuana for a year, and whenever pork comes up in a conversation, he starts drooling about the carnitas tortas he had while he lived there, and I am consumed by jealousy. Then, I found an awesome sandwich shop in Boston that serves an amazing torta with jicama slaw. This has been my recreation of that brilliant sandwich. Though the pork is not traditional carnitas, it's cooked in a tangy marinade taught to me by a neighbor, and pairs wonderfully with the sweet, cool, spiciness of jicama slaw. It's a plan ahead recipe, since the pork has to marinate overnight and cook for a long time, but it's so worth it. Oh, and I almost forgot! A real torta would have beans, but I can't eat beans, so I leave them out. However, for a full experience, warm up some refritos and spread them on the rolls before you add the avocado! - fiveandspice
