Asada Tortas Ingredients

Method

Asada Tortas Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tortas

    Slice the bolillo rolls in half. Optionally, toast them lightly on the grill. Layer the sliced steak on the bottom half of each roll.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Top the steak with sliced avocado, tomato, shredded lettuce, jalapeño, and a dollop of sour cream.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Place the top half of the roll over the fillings, press down lightly, and serve immediately.
