Mexican Ham And Cheese Tortas - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 bolillo rolls or 4 kaiser rolls
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 tablespoons refried beans
1 cup shredded chihuahua cheese or 1 cup monterey jack cheese
4 slices thinly sliced ham
2 tablespoons hot mexican salsa
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 tomatoes, cut into 8 thin slices
1 avocado, cut into 8 slices
4 slices onions, separated into rings
4 pickled jalapeno peppers, sliced

Preparation

Preheat a griddle over med-high heat, or preheat panini grill.
Cut each bolillo in half horizontally; spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on one side of teh bread and 1 tablespoon refried beans on the other side.
Top the beans with 1/4 of the cheese and 1 slices of ham.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon salsa on the other half of the bolillo.
Close the sandwich; place the torta on the oiled griddle or panini grill.
If using a griddle, place a skillet as a weight on top of the torta as it cooks.
Toast until the cheese melts; turn as necessary to avoid burning the exterior.
When the cheese has melted and the crust of the bread is browned, open the torta and spread 1/4 of the lettuce, tomatoes, onion, avocado, and pickled jalapenos inside each.
Replace the top piece; cut in half; serve immediately.
