The Best Spam Sandwich Recipe
Report
This is the Best Spam Sandwich Recipe because it's a Mexican twist that taps into the elements of a traditional torta, which is topped with refried beans, cheese, and fresh or pickled veggies.

Ingredients
- 1 bolillo roll
- 3-4 slices Spam, cut about ¼ inch thick
- 1 tablespoon crema
- 1 generous spoonful (or two) of refried beans
- 3-4 slices medium to large-sized tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 leaf romaine lettuce
- 3 slices cheese (I used Manchego)
- 4-5 slices pickled jalapeno

Instructions
- Fry the slices of Spam in a pan over medium heat, until you’ve achieved the desired level of crispness. Two to three minutes per side is usually sufficient.
- Remove Spam slices from pan and let cool on paper towels. Slice the bolillo roll in half and butter the cut sides.
- Place cut sides down in the pan, still on medium heat, and lightly toast. You want it to get a little color, but not be super crisp like toast.
- Remove from heat. Slather some refried beans (either cool or heated) on one side of the roll. Slather some crema on the other half.
- Layer the Spam, Romaine lettuce, tomato, pickled jalapenos, and cheese on that roll (in whatever order strikes your fancy).
- Close that torta up and dive right in.
