Provided by Aarón Sánchez

Time 40m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 egg
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 (1/2-pound) flank steak, pounded flat to 3 by 4 by 1/8 inches
1 French bread roll
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 avocado, cut into 4 slices
1/2 tomato, thinly sliced
1/4 cup mesclun greens
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 pickled jalapeno

Steps:

  • In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil.
  • In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the eggs. In another shallow bowl, put the bread crumbs. Dip the beef in the egg, then in bread crumbs, carefully coating both sides.
  • Saute the meat in the hot oil until the bread crumbs are browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the meat from the oil, but keep the skillet and oil warm. Cut the meat into 1/2-inch strips.
  • Cut the roll in half lengthwise and pull out the soft center from both sides. Cover the bottom side with mayonnaise and beef strips. Place 4 ripe avocado slices on the other side and spread the slices, like a thick butter. Layer 4 slices of tomato on top of the beef and cover with a mound of mixed greens, some sliced onion, and the pickled jalapeno.
  • Put the torta back in the skillet and brown the roll, pressing down with a spatula. When brown on both sides, cut and serve.
