Torta! Torta! Torta!print-friendly versionMEXICO–ONE PLATE AT A TIME WITH RICK BAYLESS If the idea of a delicious Mexican sandwich never occurred to you, than you’ve never had a torta. In this episode Rick shows how to make hearty Pork Tortas on Telera Bread and the more delicate meatless Tortas de Lenteja. Sandwiched in between is a game of Pelota Mixteca, an outing to the ancient ruins of Monte Alban, a stop at a Mexican tea salon, revelations on the role of Lent in the Mexican diet, and a surprising French connection. This episode shows that—like a hot dog at a ball game —sometimes the simplest things in life are the most satisfying.
