Tortas ahogadas (drowned sandwiches) are found all across Guadalajara, but the best ones come from the makeshift Príncipe Heredero cart, pictured. The sandwiches are filled with pork and beans, then drowned in piquant salsa, hence their name. A good, crusty birote (bread) should soak up the juices yet keep its crunchy texture.
