If you love Mexican tortas, you'll probably like Vietnamese Bánh mì.

A Mexican torta is usually a meat sandwich made with a French roll. Prepared both hot and cold, the sandwich is usually garnished with avocado, cheese, lettuce, jalapeño, tomatoes and sour cream. Although the most popular versions of the dish feature Mexican staples like carne asada, al pastor and ham, tortas can also be made with fried eggs, fish and chiles rellenos. Tortas are served for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
