"A torta is a Mexican sandwich, served on an oblong 6-8 inch firm, crusty white sandwich roll, called a bolillo or telera."

I thought so. A torta is simply a type of sandwich. The common MXican didn't have this kind of bread available. The common bread has been the tortilla.

Yes, I'll concede on the basis that a pita is ALSO a sandwich...once again, made with an unleavened bread much like the tortilla...
