			The '''torta ahogada''' is a traditional Mexican sandwich originating from the city of [[Guadalajara]], in the state of [[Jalisco]], [[Mexico]]. This dish is known for its distinctive preparation and presentation, which involves "drowning" the sandwich in a spicy sauce.
	A '''torta ahogada''' is a traditional Mexican sandwich from the ~~state~~ of [[~~Jalisco~~]], ~~particularly popular~~ in the ~~city~~ of [[~~Guadalajara~~]]. ~~The name~~ "~~torta ahogada" translates to "drowned sandwich,~~" ~~referring to~~ the sandwich ~~being submerged~~ in a spicy sauce.

	==Ingredients==		==Ingredients==
	The torta ahogada is typically made with a ~~crusty~~ bread called "[[bolillo]]" or "[[birote]]", which is ~~firmer than~~ the standard bolillo ~~used in other parts of Mexico~~. The ~~sandwich is filled with~~ [[carnitas]]~~, which are pieces of pork that have been cooked until tender~~. The sandwich is ~~then~~ "drowned" in a sauce made primarily from dried [[chile de ]] ~~peppers~~, giving it a ~~distinctive~~ spicy flavor.		The main components of a torta ahogada include:
			* '''Bread''': The sandwich is typically made with a type of bread called "[[bolillo]]" or "[[birote]]", which is crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. The birote used in Guadalajara is slightly different from the standard bolillo, as it is saltier and has a thicker crust, which helps it hold up to the sauce.
			* '''Filling''': The filling usually consists of [[pork]] carnitas, although other meats such as [[chicken]] or [[beef]] can be used.
			* '''Sauce''': The sandwich is "drowned" in a sauce made primarily from dried [[chili peppers]], such as [[chile de árbol]], giving it a spicy flavor. The sauce can vary in spiciness according to personal preference.
			* '''Garnishes''': Common garnishes include thinly sliced [[onions]], [[lime]] wedges, and sometimes [[avocado]].

	==Preparation==		==Preparation==
	To prepare a torta ahogada, the bolillo is sliced open and filled with ~~carnitas~~. The sandwich is then submerged in a sauce , ~~vinegar, garlic, and other spices~~. The ~~level~~ of ~~spiciness~~ can be adjusted ~~according~~ to taste, with some ~~versions being extremely hot. The~~ sandwich ~~is often garnished with thinly sliced onions, radishes~~, ~~and~~ a ~~squeeze of lime juice~~.		[[File:Ahogada.JPG\|thumb\|left\|Close-up of the spicy sauce used in torta ahogada.]]
			To prepare a torta ahogada, the bolillo is sliced open and filled with the chosen meat. The sandwich is then submerged in the spicy chili sauce, allowing the bread to absorb the flavors. The amount of sauce can be adjusted to taste, with some preferring a completely "drowned" sandwich, while others opt for a lighter coating.

	==~~History~~==		==Cultural Significance==
	The torta ahogada is ~~believed to have originated~~ in Guadalajara in the ~~early 20th century~~. ~~According to local legend, the sandwich was created by accident when~~ a ~~street vendor accidentally dropped a sandwich into~~ a ~~container of salsa~~. The ~~resulting~~ dish ~~was so delicious that it became~~ a staple ~~of the~~ local ~~cuisine~~.		The torta ahogada is a beloved street food in Guadalajara and is often associated with the city's culinary identity. It is commonly enjoyed as a casual meal and is a popular choice for breakfast or lunch. The dish is also a staple at local festivals and celebrations.

	==~~Cultural significance~~==		==Variations==
	~~The~~ torta ahogada is ~~a beloved dish in Guadalajara and is often associated~~ with ~~the city's identity~~. ~~It is commonly sold by street vendors and in small restaurants throughout the city. The dish is~~ also ~~popular during local festivals and celebrations~~.		While the traditional torta ahogada is made with pork carnitas, variations exist that include different types of meat or vegetarian options. Some versions may also incorporate additional toppings such as [[cheese]] or [[sour cream]].
