School is back in session and lunchtime routines are underway. My son is ten now and eats just as much as his older sister, who’s a high school junior. He’s moved past the kid’s menu and half sandwiches — he’s a growing boy and loves a hearty torta.
My mom used to make tortas for us when we were kids, and every time I assemble one I’m taken back to those road trips and summer days at the lake. These tortas are similar to hers but I add a few extras, like bacon, and I swap avocado slices for a creamy avocado mayonnaise so it won’t slip out of the roll.
I make BLTs all summer when garden tomatoes are at their best — add avocado and you have a BLTA. Instead of fragile avocado slices, mashing avocado with a bit of mayonnaise creates a smooth, spreadable condiment that adds richness without sliding around. It’s a healthier twist on traditional mayo and perfect for a torta.
This bolillo features Applegate Natural Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, which I feel good about serving my family — no antibiotics ever and simple, clean ingredients. And bacon? It makes everything better. I use a hardwood-smoked bacon for a sweet, salty, smoky, crunchy contrast that completes the sandwich.
The bacon adds the ideal balance of flavor and texture. Be sure to check my Instagram stories for details about a contest run by The Feedfeed and how to enter for a chance to win a prize.
