Meet your next sandwich.
Seriously.
This took less than 20 minutes to make so it’s fresh cooked and oh so tasty.
It’s a zucchini torta.
Did I mention it also has avocado? It does.
A torta is a kind of Mexican sandwich served on a bolillo roll and like all sandwiches it can be eaten hot, cold, grilled, and toasted.
This was a new way to use zucchini for me and I loved it!
Water sautéing is an excellent way to cut down on oil dependence in cooking. Instead enjoy a whole food source of healthy fat from the avocado.
