You've probably come across another recipe already, but in case you have not and if you want to practice your spanish and a new recipe; I found the following post for you: http://mx.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080919125654AAesXEh Interestingly most of the truly homemade mexican recipes I've come across (I am mexican myself) are usually found this way (forums and the like). BTW, the recipe at the top is actually what you are looking for! and if you have a question on translation or anything mexican really...just flick an email!

I find it ironic that our "experts" on Mexican cuisine aren't Mexican. That looks pretty expert to me, and definitely doable at home. Looks so delicoso!

They are on Whittier Bld. about 2-3 blocks from Idiana Street. The reason i know they are so good is because about 5 years ago they used to be one of those mobile sandwich trucks that you see all over Los Angeles, and know thaey have established a great restaurant . Whatever you do. Make sure you buy an extra to take home because you wont find them anywhere (except Mexico)...... that are this good You have to try the cemitas from LA CHINA POBLANA.

I'm from Cuernavaca (State of Morelos) relatively close to the city of Puebla so cemitas are pretty familiar to me. As far as I know, cemitas is the bun, which is a brioche like dough (you were right) with just a hint of aniseed, but we tend to use it for the torta too (I do loooove tortas btw, in case you wanted to know). My favorite way to eat cemitas is with frijoles refritos, queso fresco and a little bit of jalapenos. Torta de pobre ;-) besos desde Shanghai, keep posting those wonderful recipes como dice la cancion (no recuerdo de quien):

Boy, does that make me peckish! Having lived in Mexico for a year, Im all too familiar (or unfamiliar that is) with the regional differences. I was living in Xalapa, Veracruz where the idea of a burrito is about as foreign as good Japanese was! I actually happened to like tortas, but that bun definitely looks like it could change my mind. Is it crisp and chewy? Beautiful photo, would never have suspected baking trays :) Man oh man. Boy, does that make me peckish!

Yeah, discovering them (easy here in Puebla York) made me feel like you feel about Dominican chimis. "Where have you been all my life?" You're right, the bun makes all the difference. Damn, will have to make a trip to Queens to have one RIGHT NOW!!! Cemitas!
