Exquisite Bean and Cheese Torta

* 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil
* 1 can (15 ounces) of refried beans
* 4 1/4 inch slices of jalapeñ0 jack cheese
* 1/2 ripe avocado
* salsa, hot sauce and salt to taste
* 1/2 pound sliced turkey meat
* 2 sandwich rolls

This Mexican "sandwich" is exquisite! Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat and add beans. Cook, stir and mash beans into a smooth paste (10 or 15 minutes) which will look similar to mash potatoes. Cover and put burner on low. Over medium heat, place remaining oil.

Scrape out some of the bread from the center of half of each roll and lay them scraped side down on the skillet until golden brown (2 minutes). Spread the beans on the inside of the roll and then pile the turkey, avocado and jalapeño jack. Add salsa or hot sauce to taste, cover with the tops of the rolls and serve.
