Torta
A sandwich of black beans, jackfruit carnitas, veggies, pickled onions, and fire roasted salsa

Short History: Some historians claim that the torta was created in Puebla, in south-central Mexico, before the Mexican-American war of 1846-1848. Under those circumstances, people sometimes lived hand-to-mouth and the torta reflects that kind of culture: it’s filling, cheap to make, and easy to carry around. This meal from TVT will provide you with fiber, vitamin C, vitamin A, antioxidants, and more!
