A brief presentation about a famous dish in Jalisco, the torta ahogada

1. El isa Ruiz
TORTA AHOGADA

2.  Typical dish from Jal isco, par ticularly in the city of
Guadalajara.
 I t is cal led ” a h o gad a" because the sandwich is submerged
total ly or par tially in a sauce made primarily of chi le de árbol .
Less spicy versions of the sandwich, made with a tomato-based
sauce, are also available.
 Made with birote salado, which has a thick, crunchy crust and
sof ter interior. The consistency of the bread permits the
sandwich to be submerged in sauce without crumbling or
dissolving.
 The bread is sl iced open on one side and the sandwich is
fi l led with chopped, fried pork. Fi l lings of chicken, beans, and
cheese are sometimes avai lable. The sandwiches are served
with onion rings, radishes, avocados and chi l i peppers.

3. HISTORY
 Origins in the Perla Tapatía at the beginning of the past
century.
 Created when Mr. I g na c io S a l d aña, e l “Gu e ri to ” g ot home
hungry, looked for something to satisfy his hunger, but only
found a piece of bread, some beans, pork and a sauce.
 The man took al l the ingredients and made a strange dish,
one which was very much of his taste.

4. BUSINESS PLAN
 My business plan is to make a high qual ity restaurant of the
tor ta ahogada with informational purposes, where people can
see the ful l history of where it came from and how it has
changed in time to what it is now: one of he most typical
dishes in Guadalajara, where i f you come to the city, you have
to try a tor ta ahogada or it would be as if you were never here.
 Increase gastronomic tourism in Guadalajara.
