About the dish

Guacamaya is a Mexican torta originating from León, Guanajuato. It is made by filling a bolillo roll with crispy chicharrón pork rinds, avocado, spicy salsa, lime juice, and salt. In the city of León, these sandwiches are usually sold from guacamaya carts – tricycles that are equipped with a glass case containing all that is needed to assemble these spicy tortas. But fear not, as they also offer a refreshing local beverage called cebadina to counter the spiciness of guacamaya.
