The key to a great sandwich is a great sauce, and the CHICKEN TORTA at LA VALLESANA has two. A smoky-sweet, chipotle-based salsa and a fiery avocado and chile salsa accompany the grilled chicken, cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, mayo, cilantro and onion that are pressed inside a telera (Mexican sandwich bun) for a toasty crunch. The salsas bring the heat and round out the flavors of this stellar sandwich.
