Looking for a dynamic dinner? Meet the torta! Our take on this classic Mexican sandwich starts with crusty ciabatta bread slathered with savory spiced mashed beans layered with cheesy fajita-spiced chicken, juicy tomato, and a layer of creamy guac. With a tangy pico de gallo-studded spring mix salad and crunchy chips, this 15-minute (!) super-stuffed sammie + salad is torta-lly dinner worthy!

• Pat chicken* dry and season all over with Fajita Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. • Drizzle oil in a hot pan. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. TIP: While chicken cooks, move on to Step 2. • Sprinkle cheese over chicken; cover until cheese melts, 30-60 seconds. Remove from heat.

• Wash and dry produce. • Thinly slice tomato into rounds. Season with salt and pepper. • Place refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave 2-3 minutes. Uncover and stir. • Halve and toast ciabattas. TIP: If you have downtime, make the salad in the next step.

• In a bowl, toss mixed greens, pico de gallo (draining first), and vinaigrette to combine.

• Spread refried beans on cut sides of ciabattas (save any remaining refried beans for another use). Top with cheesy chicken, tomato, and guacamole; season with salt and pepper. Close chicken tortas. • Divide chicken tortas between plates; serve with salad and tortilla chips on the side.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
This was a HUGE portion! I love beans, they are so healthy and I love when they are included. The tomato was not ripe at all, not expecting anything different. But it was really lacking in flavor. I got up and put chipotle sauce on mine. I did season the tomatoes and chicken. I think a better use of the pico, would be to add it to the beans! Or add a mexican spicy crema etc.
This is not the right bread for a "torta". The bread is too small and it makes all the beans and guacamole drip really badly out of the bread every time you take a bite which makes this a VERY messy meal to consume. Please change this to a more authentic or bigger bread and it would be x10 better!
Never tried this recipe before and it was a HIT! The sandwiches were a little BIG...I think something other than a ciabatta would work. Overall, 10/10 meal.
This sandwich was huge once it was all put together. Like, barely fit your mouth around it. I think the chicken should have been pounded out so it was thinner, that would have helped the sandwich from being too large. Also, no one liked the salad. The flavor of the salad just wasn't there.
I liked the idea of this but we had some issues while eating it. I like the idea of the beans on the bun but there was too much and it made the bread soggy and messy. Maybe suggest putting less beans on it and using the chips to dip with the rest of the beans. Also the salad had way too much dressing. I would order this again but put it together in a different way.
The flavors were great! But having a whole chicken breast on the sandwich made it difficult to eat, with everything sliding out from inside with every bite you take. Maybe slicing the chicken up or having thinner slices of breast meat would be better?
It tasted good but, the chicken being flattened or sliced up would have made a more manageable sandwich. It was a tall sandwich otherwise.
It was REALLY messy to eat, essentially ate it in pieces cause the chicken kept sliding out, but the flavors were delicious!
Positively THE simplest, tasty meal ever!! I don't eat beans so mine was sans beans but everything went well together, literally in minutes.
Wasn't sure about it at first.. it was different.. ended up loving it.
