Torta de lechón. En Taquería Nuevo San Fernando en #Mérida #Yucatán primero remojan ligeramente el pan con el vinagre de cebolla morada y chile habanero. El lechón se dispone entre la tierna carne y los pedazos crujientes de la piel, los cuales crean una doble textura crocante en la torta. Un bocado fuera de serie.
