Cemita Poblana
Cemita Poblana
Cemita Poblana originates from Puebla, Mexico. This wonderful sandwich contains either a breaded chicken, pork, or beef cutlet fried and topped with a plethora of ingredients including avocado, oaxaca cheese, chipotle peppers, onion, cabbage, and cilantro; all on a brioche sesame seeded bun. If you can’t find buns with sesame seeds, a regular brioche bun will work.
