Welcome to Great International Sandwiches!
In previous eBooks of the "Your Cooking Companion" series, we examined favorite breakfast sandwiches and also great sandwiches from the different regions of America. Now, let's take a trip abroad to explore the absolute best sandwiches from around the globe.
There is perhaps no food more versatile than the humble sandwich. Someone once remarked that I could make a sandwich out of anything. Guilty as charged! I love sandwiches - I can't help myself. Chef David Chang, whose iconic Pork Belly Buns are featured in this eBook, sums it up well: Steamed bread + tasty meat = good eating.
Now, not every sandwich has bread that's been steamed - some are plain, some are toasted ...but you get the idea.
That might sound like a silly thing to say about something that can be described as something delicious jammed between two hunks of starch.
Sandwiches have come a long way and are very often greater than the sum of its parts. The sandwich's dominant presence in virtually every culture on the planet and across the centuries speaks to its universality. Sandwiches can be pretty much anything (except a hot dog). They can be a simple, on-the-go street food affordable to the masses. They can be luxurious and complex creations by world-class chefs. They can be sweet or savory, hot or cold, big and small. And sometimes, they can offer a glimpse into traditions and customs of the regions from which they’ve sprung. Sandwiches bridge gaps between cultures and classes.
You will find many recipes that so quick and simple. You will also find recipes that are complex and challenging. The common thing is that they are all satisfying and comforting.
Enough talk - Let's go to kitchen!

Some Tips for Successful Sandwich Construction:
Use good ingredients. For instance, the meat that is cut fresh at the deli counter is always better than the prepackaged stuff
Use a good quality bread (unless you really like Wonder Bread™). For most sandwiches, you can’t beat a nice, thick & crisp crust. Consider using a flavored bread: Studded with olives, rosemary, roasted garlic, etc.
Use the right bread for the filling. The general rule of thumb is the moister the filling, the drier and denser the bread needs to be – otherwise, you wind up with a soggy mess. For very moist fillings, consider making it a wrap, or using a flour tortilla. Both will corral moist fillings very nicely.
Have a good ratio of bread to filling. In other words, don’t overstuff the sandwich, so that the bread can’t hold it all – and don’t make it so skimpy that the bread is all you taste
Use a spread to add flavor and moisture. The traditional spreads are mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup – but feel free to try BBQ sauce, salad dressings, salsas, pesto, etc. Be sure to take the spread all the way out to the edge of your bread – it helps to keep the filling stay inside
Unless you plan to eat the sandwich right away, be careful about adding moist ingredients like lettuce and tomato. It is better to keep them on the side until you’re ready to eat.
Use a sharp serrated knife to cut your sandwich. Use a nice, gentle sawing motion – let the knife do the work – so that you don’t press down on the sandwich and squeeze out all the filling

Latin American Sandwiches
In the spirit of encouraging creativity and experimentation, this chapter is starting off a bit differently. In years past, people thought a taco simply consisted of a filling of ground beef, shredded lettuce, and a topping of grated cheddar cheese. Not anymore! With the emergence and popularity of food trucks, especially the taco trucks, all the rules have been broken. In addition to the food trucks, there are taquerias that offer tacos with creative twists that have been phenomenally successful. Now, anything goes! As tacos have become more exotic, their popularity has soared.
To get your creative juices flowing, the common and most popular components found throughout Latin America will be presented. Having the recipes for these building blocks, along with a bit of encouragement, you will have all the ingredients to create your own masterpieces. I believe Latin American cuisines lend themselves to improvisation - which is what makes them so great.
We'll start with making homemade tortillas - both corn and flour. Of course, you don't have to make these yourself, but I encourage you to try. You'll find that they are not difficult. Because they are so simple and have few ingredients, they are easy and fun to make. You need to pay attention to some little details, but after a little practice, you'll be making homemade tortillas that are far superior than store-bought. And, you'll be proud of yourself!
After that, we'll examine common protein fillings of beef, chicken, and pork, lamb, shrimp, and fish.
Finally, we'll look at popular salsas, toppings, and condiments to make your creations the best they can be.
Once you have these major components, let your imagination take over. Having a taco party is fun and a guaranteed success - especially when you put out the ingredients and invite your guests to make their own.
To wrap up this chapter we'll take a look at some popular Latin American sandwiches.
Making Homemade Tortillas
It helps to have some special equipment, especially a tortilla press – but it’s not absolutely essential. You can always use a rolling pin with good results – but a tortilla press isn’t expensive. Also, a non- stick griddle is helpful, but you can make them in a skillet just as well. The authentic cooking vessel is known as a Comal, but I like my griddle better, which
