Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces chipotle cooking sauce (such a Knorr®)
1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium beef broth
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
4 bolillo rolls, halved and lightly toasted
4 sprigs fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine chipotle cooking sauce, beef broth, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; saute onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir garlic into onion and cook for 1 minute. Add roast beef and 1/4 cup chipotle sauce mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
