Directions
Carne Asada Directions
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, Steak Argentino seasoning, and chopped cilantro.
Place the shaved beef in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, making sure it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the beef in the skillet or on the grill pan for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through and slightly charred.
Remove the beef from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
Torta Assembly
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the Telera rolls on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until they are slightly crispy on the outside.
Heat the spicy refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm.
Spread a generous layer of warm spicy refried beans on the bottom half of each Telera roll. Sprinkle the shredded Chihuahua cheese over the beans. Layer with the sliced carne asada. Add a layer of shredded lettuce. Spoon Pico de Gallo over the lettuce. Spread mashed avocado on the top half of each Telera roll. Place the top half of the Telera roll on each sandwich. Serve the tortas immediately, accompanied by your favorite side dishes or garnishes.
