Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Torta Sandwich
- In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the grill, cooking for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken is grilling, slice the bolillo or telera rolls in half and place them cut side-up on a baking sheet. Toast them under the broiler for 2-3 minutes if desired.
- Once the chicken has cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips. Layer the sliced chicken on the bottom half of each roll along with shredded lettuce, fresh tomato slices, and creamy avocado.
- Top the chicken and veggies with pickled jalapeños and a dollop of sour cream or crema before placing the top half of the roll over the fillings, pressing gently to keep everything together.
- Slice the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve immediately.
