Hey what do I know? You've seen my "Canadian taco" recipe by now.

I'd call them flautas. Big taquitos. They have open ends; burritos
have folded over ends so they don't leak.

But by whatever name, they do look tasty.

Changing the topic slightly, I can across this recently...

     Title: About Torta Ahogada
Categories: Mexican, Pork, Sandwiches, Info
  Servings: 4

           By Tovin Lapan

The torta ahogada or "drowned sandwich" is a regional specialty
of Guadalajara. It is made with a crunchy-on-the-outside, soft-on-
the-inside sour roll called a bolillo, which is stuffed with pierna
(pork). Then the entire sandwich is immersed in a salsa made with
chile de arbol. Sometimes the inside of the bread is spread with a
light coating of refried beans. The sandwich is served swimming in a
small pool of salsa, with lime and onions, and marinated in an
even-spicier salsa. The original version packs a picante punch, but
milder versions are available.

The bread, pork, salsa and onions do a delicious dance together. If
you are sick, the ahogada will sweat it out of you. If you are
hung over, it will clear your head.

It's important to beware of impostors. Some Mexican sandwich shops
will call something an ahogada even if it bears no resemblance to
the Guadalajara original. One recipe from the Food Network calls it
a "drowned beef sandwich." I've never met an authentic ahogada with
beef in it, and frankly, I don't care to. The recipe also calls for
avocado, which is a dead giveaway for an ahogada con artist.

You can make a "gemma" version with sliced tomato, which is creamier
and less spicy, and has a mustard-based sauce drizzled on top of it.

For both of them, the secret is in the bread. It has to be just
right.

There is one other thing the Yanquis just don't get. They always
want to eat it with a fork or spoon because it is messy. You have to
eat with your hands. Don't be afraid; lick your fingers.
