Mushroom, Poblano Chili and Refried Bean Tortas
Tortas, a type of Mexican sandwich, come in classic versions—and multiple variations on those classics—but they can be built any way you please. We make a hearty vegetarian version filled with sautéed mushrooms and chilies, refried beans, mashed avocado and cheese. You also could add lettuce, sliced tomatoes and cilantro. A flattish roll called telera is used for making tortas, but you can use any type of round roll with a soft interior and a thin, lightly crisp crust.

Tip
Don't use soft, fluffy rolls, such as hamburger rolls. They won't hold up under the weight of the fillings.

In a nonstick 12-inch skillet over medium, heat 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil until shimmering. Add the mushrooms, chilies, onion and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are light golden brown and have softened, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and tent with foil to keep warm.

Portabello and Poblano
I made this recipe as an alternative to a portabello burger. It is easier to eat the sauted vegetables than biting into a thick portabello. However, I found the whole torta a bit bland. There really was no outstanding flare to it. There were 3 creamy elements with the sauteed mushrooms, so it really lacked an astringent element. Will try again as I often have all these ingredients at home, but will add more spice. This is a good base to build upon.

These are really great. If you have a Latinx market which sells telera rolls get them.
