Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss shredded pork with achiote paste and lime juice until evenly coated and fragrant.

  2. Step 2

    Pour vinegar over sliced red onion in a bowl. Let sit while you assemble the tortas.

  3. Step 3

    Slice bolillo rolls in half lengthwise. Spread mayo on both cut sides if desired.

  4. Step 4

    Pile achiote pork onto the bottom half of each roll. Top with pickled red onion.

  5. Step 5

    Close the torta and serve immediately. The warm pork softens the bread beautifully.
