Tijuana Torta

Turned out really good!  This is super easy and really yummy!  Surprisingly it holds up well as leftovers too!

Tijuana Torta
Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1-15oz can black or pinto beans, rinsed
  • 3 Tbs salsa (or more to taste)
  • 1 Tbs chopped jalapeño (I used the jar of sliced and did no additional cutting)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 Tbs minced onion
  • 1 Tbs lime juice
  • baguette
  • 1 1/3 C shredded green cabbage
  • shredded cheese of your liking



  1. Mash beans, salsa, jalapeño and cumin in a small bowl.  
  2. Mash avocado, onion and lime juice in another small bowl.
  3. Cut baguette into preferred lengths for sandwich.  Split each piece in half horizontally and pull out most of the soft bread from the center so you're left with mostly crust.
  4. Divide the bean paste, avocado mixture and cabbage evenly among the sandwiches.  Sprinkle with cheese and serve!


*Sides: Spanish Rice (from the box, lol) and corn
