Breaded Veal Sandwiches
Cemitas MilanesaThis sandwich with the Italian name is most common in northern Mexico, but is on menus all over the country. Cemitas are sesame-seed rolls from the state of Puebla. The hearty version stuffed with thin fried breaded veal (or beef), avocado, cheese, and more, was my favorite. Use a good-quality large, round sesame seed roll for the bread.
