Torta Sandwich Assembly

- Gently spread beans on the bottom layer of each bolillo bread.
- Place a spoonful of turkey meat over the beans and cover with cheese.
- Bake at 350 for 5-7 min or until cheese melts.
- When tortas come out, spread Mexican crema on the inside of the top of bolillo bread.
- Have your assembly line of toppings ready. When toasty tortas come out of the oven, customize tortas with preferred toppings. I like my torta piled high with all the things!
