    So, let's talk about a sandwich that doesn't get as much love as it deserves. I'm talking about the cemita.

    So, what exactly is this delicious Mexican food item? It's essentially a torta made with a lightly-toasted, brioche-like sesame bun.

    Typically, the cemita contains papalo herbs, fresh-cut onions, avocados...

    ...Queso Oaxaca that's pulled apart into thin strings, making every bite a very cheesy experience...

    ..And then, there's the chipotle. Cemitas were the reason chipotle was created.

    Last but not least, there's the meat: beef, pork, or chicken cutlets, that brings all the flavors together to deliver an unforgettable taste of awesomeness.

    If you want to take the cemita to a whole new level, order it with breaded meat.

    The cemita is a culinary masterpiece.

    The cemita is the reason you wake up every morning.

    It's proof that something so simple can still deliver a gratifying experience.

    And to those who grew up with it, cemitas take us back to the days of family outings at the food truck before food trucks were a thing.

    No matter how tough life gets...

    No matter how sad you feel...

    There's not a single problem that a cemita can't fix.
