I guess it's the diminutive for "torta," but "tortasito" is morphologically incorrect. "Tortita" or even "Tortillita" sounds better.
The meaning of "Torta" has many meanings, it all depends of the country. "Torta " could mean cake, sandwich (bread), thick tortilla, and even used as a slang in some countries implying "mistake," "accident," "slap," "hit."
"Cito/cita" (not "sita/sito")applies to words ending with "n," "r," "e," "i," "u," or "last accented vowel." e.i. pan/panecito - papá/papacito
"Torta" has its accent on the first vowel, and it ends with "a," hence, it doesn't support the "cito/cita" rule.

I don't think that's a real English word because I'm Australian and I've never heard or used that word before. To make sure I even checked up the dictionary for you.

Even not being correct Spanish, the ony aception I can think of is 'tortazo' as 'an accident'. Then 'tortacito' would be a small accident. The other aceptions, 'torta' and so are all femenine and the diminutive would be 'tortita'.

the Mexican version of the sandwich is a torta, when someone is slapped we say he/she got a tortaso and i have heard in Chihuahua said tortasito which means a slap but not very hard maybe that is it.
