Tortas traditionally share some of the same fillings as their more famous counterparts, too, including creamy refried beans and crumbly queso fresco, but this version is a veggie lover’s dream with deep fried zucchini serving as the main star.

Spanish Bocadillo

The traditional bocadillo is designed for simplicity, so that on-the-go Spaniards can have their sandwich and eat it too.
