Torta de tamal(huajolota) con queso y salsa

Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet until hot enough for frying.

Fry the two tamales in the hot oil until golden brown.

Add a bit of salsa de árbol to the tamales for extra flavor while frying.

Preheat a comal to warm the bolillo (bread roll).

Slice the queso fresco into two thick slices.

Once the tamales are fried, place one inside the bolillo.

Add the slices of queso fresco inside the bolillo with the tamal.

Heat the bolillo on the comal until soft and warm.

Remove the fried tamal from the oil and let it drain briefly.

Assemble the torta by placing the tamal inside the bolillo and adding salsa de árbol on top.
