Tortas de bacalao

Bacalao, or salt cod, is one of many Spanish ingredients taken up enthusiastically by Mexicans. Some people still call this preparation a la vizcaina after the province of Vizcaya in the Basque country, where it may have originated. Yet many call it bacalao a la veracruzana after the Mexican state of Veracruz, where it's enjoyed with particular enthusiam, and to drive home that this is thoroughly distinct from its Spanish antecedents.

Guadalajara-style "Drowned" Tortas
Tortas ahogadas

Perhaps the most famous tortas in Mexico and certainly one of the most unusual, tortas ahogodas are a must-try for anyone visiting the city of Guadalajara. Vendors first fill rolls called birotes with carnitas and a particular preparation of pickled onions, then dip the sandwich into a fiery, vinegary hot sauce - or as we say, the tortas are bautisadas, or "baptized". Some people order them half dipped (media bautisada) or fully dipped (bautisada completa). Then, vendors take a ladleful of mild tomato sauce from a vat and spoon it on top. It's magical construction: crunchy and soggy, spicy and rich, pickly and mild.
