Cemita

(Cemita Poblana)

Cemita is a popular Mexican sandwich originating from Puebla, consisting of a fresh, sesame seed-sprinkled bun filled with tiny strands of shredded cheese, avocado slices, pickled jalapeños, papalo (herb with a unique flavor), and cutlets of meat such as pork, beef, or chicken, all fried in breadcrumbs.


The sandwich can be additionally stuffed with tomatoes, lettuce, and mayonnaise. The name cemita refers both to the bun and the sandwich.
