5 Mexican Tortas in One Week (I'm Not Sorry)

Published 27 days ago • 3 min read

Hey Reader,

Nothing is wrong with your inbox. This really is an email about a whole gaggle of different vegan Mexican tortas showing up in one week.

Oh mommy. The messiest part of your sandwich lifestyle just got real.

🍔 Let's make some DRIPPIN' tortas together!

Vegan Chicken Mole Torta

Well look at this sandwich showing off. Rich mole, juicy vegan chicken, crunchy slaw, and a sturdy roll all show up ready to clock the heck out of all the lame ass sandwiches you had.

Vegan Mexican Torta de Carnitas

Hot, crispy-edged vegan carne asada, lime kissed refried beans, and a charred jalapeño lime sauce all crammed into a toasted bolillo. This vegan torta de carnitas is not a dainty lunch. It's a sit-down, cancel-your-next-task situation.

Vegan Torta Adobada

Smoky, spicy jackfruit packed into a soft roll with crunch, avocado creaminess, and heat all fighting for attention. This vegan torta adobada is messy and makes an absurdly good lunch that even your non-veg friends can get down with.

Vegan Torta de Milanesa

Crunchy tofu milanesa, chipotle doing its smoky little razzle-dazzle, avocados and pickled jalapeño, all jammed into a soft bolillo roll. You're gonna need an embarrassingly big wad of napkins and a moment to process everything.

Vegan Mexican Torta de Chorizo

Toasted bolillo, hot vegan chorizo, beans, fresh crunch, optional guajillo sauce because you love giving yourself the messiest, most flavorful sandos in the galaxy. This vegan torta de chorizo is filling AF and not meant to be eaten politely or quietly.

I can't wait to hear how you like love the heck out of these recipes!

❤️ - Your vegan cooking buddy, Adam

"As a new student in Vegan University I am elated with this program and with Adam Sobel. I have spent decades trying to cook healthy, delicious meals for myself and my family. Adam's classes are a game changer and my meals have been elevated to a level I always dreamed of. He has made cooking joyful and inspiring and I no longer dread it. Adam genuinely cares about his students and checks to see if we have any questions, etc. I didn't expect that to be honest, but it's wonderful to have someone who really cares about how my cooking develops. I highly recommend this program. Thank you for everything Adam!"

Listen Reader, Mole. It's what's for dinner. Side note: this is NOT the mole in question. Mole is famous for being a savory thing made with chocolate in it. But what makes it crazy flavorful is the roasted dried chiles, charred tomatoes and garlic, fried almonds, and roasted spices. If you have never made it, you are about to lose your dmn mind, because it's hella tasty, and easier than you think. Because I live in a neighborhood with a ton of people from Puebla, I am sharing the style of...

Hey Reader, Have we just discovered the greatest conspiracy of the 21st century? Has it ever occurred to you that Cookie Monster and Santa Claus might be one and the same? Cookie Monster Santa, as you might know, has a strict preference for two kinds of treats in his cookie-diet: 1️⃣ Cookies that are fun to make with your kids (he LOVES that!) 2️⃣ Vegan cookies that are just straight up delicious, and he wants to eat a whole damn plate of them.
