Sandwiches, burgers, and wraps
A specialty of Guadalajara, Mexico, torta ahogada is a crisp sandwich roll filled with meat and completely submerged in a spicy tomato sauce. Its name means “drowned sandwich,” and it is eaten with a fork and knife.
Blend the tomatoes, softened guajillo pepper, onion, garlic, and cumin until smooth. Cook in oil over medium heat for 15 minutes, then season with salt.
Cook the beef pastrami in a little oil over medium heat for 6–8 minutes.
Split the roll and fill it with the cooked beef.
Submerge the sandwich completely in the hot sauce in a wide dish.
Serve immediately with a fork and knife.
Store the sauce covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Eat the sandwich immediately after dipping it.
