1 pound , thinly sliced (1/4-inch) boneless lamb steaks or chops
1 clove garlic (large), finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
8 green onions
4 oval Mexican sandwich rolls (bolillos) or other sandwich kaiser rolls, split lengthwise
3 to 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 large avocado (Hass variety preferred), thinly sliced
shredded lettuce such as romaine or iceberg
salsa of choice, purchased or homemade

Steps:

1. Prepare an outdoor grill or preheat a stovetop grill pan. Trim excess fat from the lamb. Mash the garlic, salt, lime juice and oil together and rub all over the meat. Sprinkle with pepper. 2. When it is hot, put the meat and the onions on the greased grill. Cook the meat until brown on the outside and barely pink inside, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board. 3. Add the onions to the grill, and cook, turning once or twice, until tender, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. Chop the lamb into bite-size pieces. 4. To assemble, spread mayonnaise on all the roll halves. Layer the bottom half of each roll with a portion of the meat, 2 green onions, 1/4 of the sliced avocado, and shredded lettuce. Put on the roll tops and serve with salsa to be added at the table. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
