    From the Test Kitchen

    These tortas (or Mexican sandwiches) showcase poblano pepper, which is known for its pleasantly smoky heat—tempered by layers of cooling avocado and melty monterey jack cheese. A bright side slaw of carrots and radishes marinated with lemon juice adds refreshing balance.

    Avocado & Poblano Tortas with Carrot-Radish Slaw
    Title
    • 2 Small Baguettes
    • 1 Avocado
    • 6 oz Carrots
    • 1 Poblano Pepper
    • 1 Yellow Onion
    • 3 oz Radishes
    • 1 Lemon
    • 4 oz Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
    • 1 oz Pickled Goathorn Peppers
    Cook the onion & poblano pepper
    1 Cook the onion & poblano pepper

    Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Cut off and discard the stem of the poblano pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands, knife, and cutting board immediately after handling. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sliced poblano pepper; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 7 to 8 minutes, or until softened. Turn off the heat.

    Peel the carrots and grate on the large side of a box grater. Halve the radishes lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Combine the grated carrots and sliced radishes in a bowl. Halve the lemon crosswise; remove the seeds. Halve the baguettes. Halve and pit the avocado. Using a spoon, remove the avocado from the skin, then medium dice. Place in a bowl; add the juice of 1 lemon half. Using a fork, mash to your desired consistency. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Roughly chop the pickled peppers.
