Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 4 rolls halved, see note
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce shredded
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 large tomato sliced
- 1/4 red onion sliced
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese or feta, crumbled
- 1 Jalapeno pepper sliced
- 1/2 cup refried beans optional
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise or butter
- hot sauce optional
Instructions
- Have all the ingredients ready.
- Warm the refried beans in the microwave or a skillet. Set aside.
Cook the steak
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together salt, pepper, and ground cumin.
- Pat dry the steak with paper towels. Then rub with oil and season with the cumin mixture.
- Place a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the steak and fry undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking. Flip every minute until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Remove to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice it thinly on a cutting board and set aside.
Toast the buns
- Put the halved buns face down on the hot skillet for 30-60 seconds until golden.
- Remove to a plate and spread mayonnaise onto the bottom halves of the rolls.
Assemble the tortas
- Spread refried beans on top of the mayo.
- Add the reserved steak slices followed by the tomato slices, avocado slices, onion, shredded lettuce, and jalapeno slices.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top. Add optional hot sauce. Close the sandwich with the tops of the rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
- Rolls: You can use authentic Mexican telera slider rolls if you can find them. Substitutes include a ciabatta roll, Kaiser roll or hoagie roll.
- Steak: In addition to sirloin, you can use New York strip, rib eye or skirt steak. To save time, you can often buy sliced steak that is already cooked.
