Mexican Torta Sandwich




Source of Recipe


Submitted by Dick S.


List of Ingredients




3/4 pound turkey Italian-style sausage or chorizo sausage
1/2 cup thick and chunky salsa
15-ounce can black or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
8 French rolls (3 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches) or bratwurst buns, cut in half lengthwise
1/3 cup sour cream (regular, light or nonfat)
1/2 cup (4 ounces) Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 cup shredded lettuce

Recipe



In a 10-inch skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned (8 to 10 minutes); drain off fat. Stir in salsa and beans. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until heated through (2 to 3 minutes).

Meanwhile, pull out doughy centers from top and bottom halves of rolls, leaving a cavity almost the full length of the roll. Spread about 1 teaspoon sour cream on both halves. Fill bottom half of each roll with about 1/3 cup meat mixture, 1 tablespoon cheese and 2 tablespoons lettuce; top with top half of roll.

Cut each sandwich in half diagonally.
