The first thing people will tell you about this delectably messy, potentially fiery Guadalajara icon is that you can’t make it without a proper birote, the seriously crusty, deeply flavored roll of the region. Many places that make tortas ahogadas across the country actually express ship birotes to ensure authenticity. Personally, I consider a crusty sour-dough demi-baguette a good stand-in-or even an artisan bolillo (recipe below). The bread just has to have enough integrity to stand up to “drowning” in the sauce without falling apart.
