Preheat the grill to high. Line an oven tray with foil. Coarsely chop the cabbage (see Make it yours). Thinly slice the tomato. Coarsely grate the carrot.
Step 2 — Make cabbage salad
Put 3 tsp olive oil and 1 tsp red wine vinegar in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Add the cabbage and, using your hands, massage for 1 min or until slightly softened. Stir in the carrot.
Step 3 — Pan-fry chicken
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 2 mins each side or until browned. Scatter over half the Tex-Mex seasoning, add a splash of water to the pan and cook, turning, for 1-2 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the pan.
Step 4 — Toast rolls
Meanwhile, halve the rolls. Put on the lined tray, cut-side up, and scatter the cheese over the roll tops. Grill for 1-2 mins until lightly toasted and the cheese is melted. Combine the remaining Tex-Mex seasoning, 2 tbs mayonnaise and ½ tsp red wine vinegar in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Step 5 — Serve up
Spread the roll bases with the Tex-Mex mayo, then layer with half the cabbage salad, the tomato and chicken. Sandwich with the cheesy tops and serve with the remaining cabbage salad. Enjoy!
Step 6 — Make it yours
For our take on torta (a Mexican-style sandwich made with soft bread rolls), we've cut the cabbage into chunks for extra crunch. If you prefer, thinly slice the cabbage with a sharp knife or mandoline. Then, simply add the cabbage and carrot to the dressing in Step 2 and toss to combine. There's no need to massage the cabbage in this case.
