Method

  1. 1 Cook the black beans until tender, then mash them and stir-fry until they thicken into a paste.
  2. 2 Fry the sausages, ham, and pork tenderloin slices separately in a pan.
  3. 3 Fry an egg sunny-side up and keep it warm.
  4. 4 Torta cubana is a pastry filled with all kinds of meat at once; if any layer is missing, it's not the proper dish.
  5. 5 Slice the loaf of bread and spread black beans and mashed avocado on both inside sides.
  6. 6 Layer the meat, eggs, cheese, and chipotle peppers in that order, then press them down while hot for 3 minutes.
