La Torta del Chavo del Ocho
The Galloping Gourmand
eight years old and has apparently been homeless since the death of an
old woman he lived with until he was four.
He lives in a barrel in the neighborhood, but nobody believes that
anybody could live in a barrel.
El Chavo del Ocho likes ham sandwiches...

Very traditional torta. It's exactly how I liked mine. At school in Mexico
the lunch lady specialized in these tortas on teleras. I have never found a
similar telera anywhere except Mexico City. Must be the altitude!

In American culture, there is the image of a friend in need who comes
to the rescue
with a ham sandwich.
La torta del Chavo del Ocho seems to have become iconic in Mexican
culture in the same way.

Love it!
Sometimes our school food vendor would spread some refried beans before the
mayo. That's the way I do them at home.
