A staple from the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, the traditional torta ahogada is a Mexican sandwich of sorts prepared by filling a crunchy birote roll with pork carnitas and dunking it in a mouthwatering árbol chile-based sauce. Praised as a hangover cure, tortas ahogadas are topped with pickled red onions and served with red salsa for an explosion of flavor beyond compare.
