My kiddos started school a couple weeks ago and back to school lunches are in full effect. My son is now 10 years old and eats just as much as his big sister who is now a junior in high school.
He no longer orders from the kidโs menu and his sandwiches are no longer half sandwiches. Heโs a growing boy and loves tortas.
My mom used to make tortas for us when we were kids and every time I make one I am reminded of the times I would eat them as a kid. They were a staple for road trips and summer gatherings at the lake.
These tortas are just like the ones my mom used to make but with the addition of some added goodies like bacon and instead of avocado slices I included an avocado mayonnaise.
I love to make BLTs in the summer, when my garden tomatoes are bursting with flavor. Adding avocado makes it a BLTA. Instead of using slices of avocado, which can slip out of the torta, this recipe combines avocado with mayonnaise.
Creamy avocado becomes an amazing sandwich spread when mixed with a touch of mayo making it a healthy condiment. It’s particularly good on a BLTA, but whatโs a BLTTA you ask? Bacon, lettuce, tomato, turkey, and avocado.
This bolillo includes Applegate Natural Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, which I am happy to serve my children. No antibiotics ever and simple, clean ingredients, nothing artificial. And we all know bacon makes everything better and this good old-fashioned hardwood smoked bacon makes this torta amazing.
The addition of bacon in this torta is a perfect balance of sweet, salty, smoky, and crunchy.
