Ingredients
  

  • 4 bolillo rolls sliced lengthwise soft sandwich rolls
  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken meat removed and shredded
  • 1 small can green chiles drained and chopped
  • 1 small can pickled jalapeños drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 large tomato diced seeds removed
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese freshly shredded for melting
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • ½ white onion small dice
  • ½ head iceberg lettuce thinly shredded
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise full-fat for best flavor
  • 2 –3 teaspoons taco or fajita seasoning adjust to taste
  • 1 –2 tablespoons avocado oil for greasing the griddle

Method
 

  1. Remove all meat from the rotisserie chicken and pull it into bite-sized shreds.
  2. Heat a flat-top griddle or large skillet over medium heat and coat lightly with avocado oil.
  3. Add the shredded chicken, green chiles, and jalapeños to the hot surface, then sprinkle evenly with seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed and lightly crisped.
  4. Scatter the diced tomato and shredded cheese over the chicken and allow the cheese to melt and caramelize slightly against the hot surface.
  5. Spread mayonnaise over the cut sides of each bolillo roll and place them cut-side down on the griddle until golden and toasted, then flip briefly.
  6. Pile the hot chicken mixture onto the bottom halves of the rolls and remove from the griddle.
  7. Top the chicken with shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, and diced onion, then cap with the top halves of the rolls.
  8. Slice each torta in half and serve immediately while hot.
