How to make big tortas (Mexican sandwich)

bolillo bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white sandwich bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt is lower in calories and adds creaminess.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

hot sauce

🥗Healthier: salsa verde

💰Cheaper: chili powder

Salsa verde is fresher and can be made from scratch.

Prepare the longaniza and chuck steak by cooking them until fully cooked.
