A Mexican Philly Steak & Cheese assuming Mexico had it 1st.
A torta is a Mexican sandwich, more traditional than the burrito, served on an oblong 6-8 inch firm, crusty white sandwich roll, called a bolillo or telera. The word means "cake" in Spanish as used in most other countries, but in Mexico it refers specifically to this type of sandwich. Tortas can be served hot or cold. Common ingredients include, but are not limited to:
* Al pastor: (marinated pork)
* Carne asada: (marinated steak)
* Carnitas: (fried tender pork)
* Choriqueso: (Chorizo with cheese)
* Cubana: Inspired by the popular Cuban sandwich. Typically a combination of at least three ingredients such as ham, cheese, pork, and sausage.
* Cochinita pibil: (pork loin in orange sauce)
* Milanesa: (breaded steak)
* Carne deshebrada: (shredded beef)
* Chile relleno: (cheese-stuffed Anaheim or poblano green pepper fried in egg batter)
* Alambre: (steak, bacon, onion, pepper and cheese)
* Lengua: beef tongue
* Gamba: shrimp
* Pescado: fried fish
* Jamón: Ham
* Huevo con salchicha: (sausage and scrambled egg)
Garnishes such as avocado, sour cream, lettuce, jalapeño, tomato, and cheese feature in various incarnations of the sandwich. The dish is available throughout Mexico, the American Southwest, and anywhere with a large number of Mexican immigrants. This dish should not to be confused with a Spanish egg torta, a popular omelette-like dish.
Torta Ahogada is another typical dish from Guadalajara in Mexico. The bolillo is stuffed with fried pork meat (Carnitas), fried beans, onion, sometimes avocado and it is sunken in a tomato sauce ("ahogada" means "drowned" in Spanish).
