Ham and egg, either scrambled together or with a fried egg laid over the ham, fill a split *telera* or *bolillo* lined with refried beans and dressed with crema or avocado, lettuce, tomato, raw onion, and pickled *jalape帽o*. There is none of the chorizo grease and none of the *serrano* burn of its cousins. It is mild, steady, and the kind of torta that works for someone who wants substance in the morning without heat. The technique question is whether the egg is scrambled with the ham folded through it or fried whole and stacked. Scrambled, the diced ham warms in the pan and the egg sets soft around it, giving an even, tender filling that binds well to the beans. Fried, the egg keeps a runny yolk that soaks the crumb while the ham stays as a distinct sliced layer, which makes for a torta you eat carefully. Either way the ham should be warmed through and ideally caught a little color on the griddle, since cold limp ham reads flat against egg; lightly crisped at the edge it tastes like more than it is. The refried beans are the binding floor as always, spread thin and warm so the bottom of the *telera* stays intact. Because the filling is mild and not especially fatty, this torta tolerates crema better than the chorizo version does, and the pickled *jalape帽o* earns its place by being the one sharp element in an otherwise soft sandwich. The roll is warmed, crust just crisp, interior soft so it does not fight the egg. Variations are small but real. Adding cheese turns it toward a fuller ham-and-egg build, the cheese melting into the scramble and binding the ham to the egg. A spoon of salsa, red or green, brings the acid and heat the mild filling otherwise lacks, which is how many people order it when plain ham and egg feels too quiet. Folding tomato, onion, and *serrano* into the egg moves it toward an *a la mexicana* reading with the ham along for the ride, and that combination changes the balance enough that it deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here. --- ## More from this family Other [La Torta](https://onesandwich.com/tag/la-torta/) sandwiches in Mexico: - [Lonche](https://onesandwich.com/lonche/) - [Pelona](https://onesandwich.com/pelona/) - [Torta Cubana](https://onesandwich.com/torta-cubana/) - [Torta de Aguacate](https://onesandwich.com/torta-de-aguacate/) - [Torta de Arrachera](https://onesandwich.com/torta-de-arrachera/) - [Torta de At煤n](https://onesandwich.com/torta-de-atun/) - [Torta de Barbacoa](https://onesandwich.com/torta-de-barbacoa/) - [Torta de Birria](https://onesandwich.com/torta-de-birria/) [See all La Torta sandwiches 鈫抅(https://onesandwich.com/tag/la-torta/)
