This is a very nutritious sandwich designed to make use of leftovers from parties, especially when carnitas are served. It's a classic Tapatío sandwich, but made for kids and anyone who doesn't eat spicy food.

Steps

1 hour

1

Place all the broth ingredients in a clay pot over low heat. Stir constantly to prevent sticking or burning. Cook for at least 20 minutes, then turn off the heat and let cool before blending.
2

While the broth ingredients are cooking, prepare the bolillo rolls. First, spread them with mashed or refried beans, then add the pork, and finally top with the marinated onions.
3

Next, blend the broth very finely and bring it to a boil in a clay pot over low heat. Once boiling, pour some of the sauce inside the sandwich, close it, dip the sandwich in the broth, and remove.

Place the torta ahogada on a flat plate and pour more tomato broth over it. Serve hot.
