Chicken Tortas

Although this recipe for this sandwich from south of the border has been slightly altered, the original was found in the 2004 Healthy Latino Recipes Made with Love. The original recipe called for bolillos or French bread rolls, but I much prefer a dense, whole wheat bread. NOTE: I also have a posted recipe that can be used here -- Pico De Gallo #368785.
