PORK & CHEDDAR TORTA
In Mexico, a torta is your basic sandwich. I made this one with lime-marinated pork plus the traditional refried beans, peppers and other toppings. A slice of Cheddar cheese tops it off perfectly. Or for a delicious change, follow the same basic procedure but use chicken breast, refried black beans and Monterey Jack cheese.

Steps:
- Pan-fry pork chops until nicely browned.
- Simmer them, covered, with 1/2 cup water or broth until chops are done and tender, about 10 minutes more.
- While hot, slice pork thinly and place in a plastic zipper bag with the sliced chiles and lime juice.
- Refrigerate until cooled.
- To assemble torta: scoop out a little bread from inside of rolls so they're hollowed slightly.
- Spread the bottom half with refried beans; spread the top with mayo, crema or sour cream.
- Stack sandwich with the lime-marinated pork and chiles, plus tomato slices, lettuce, onions, cilantro, and cheddar cheese.
- Sprinkle liberally with black pepper.
