Ingredients
- 4 sirloin steaks of about 150 grams each pounded to 1 to 2 cms thickness
- 4 crunchy torta rolls referred to as 'bolillos' good substitutes are banh-mi rolls or single-serve size french baguettes
- 1 cup refried beans recipe coming soon
- 2 avocados sliced
- 2 tomatoes sliced
- 4 iceberg lettuce large green leaves
- 3 tbsp cotija cheese substitute with crumbly feta cheese
- ½ onion sliced in thin rings
- ½ cup Mexican crema substitute half and half
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs whisked
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- Vegetable oil
- Pickled chilies and veggies recipe coming soon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the pounded steak with salt and pepper. Place the whisked eggs in a bowl and the breadcrumbs on a tray or large plate. Dip in each steak in the eggs and then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Meanwhile, heat a large castiron skillet over low heat with enough oil to the frying pan. Fry steaks until golden brown and set aside on a paper towel to drain.
- To assemble each roll, start with beans on the bottom of the bread, followed by the steak, cheese, tomatoes, avocados, lettuce, and pickled chillis.
- Spread the top half of the torta bun with crema. Top the roll, cut in half, and enjoy.
Notes
- If you want to try something heartier, add a fried egg and ham.
- You can also replace it with bacon and egg for a brekkie torta.
- You can also replace the cheese for Oaxaca cheese or a melty cheese on top. If you add ham you have a parma style torta :).
- Add salsa if you want some heat with it.
- Try toasting the bread roll with butter or even using some of the oil left on the frying pan from the crumbled beef ;)
