Ingredients

1 pound of sirloin steak
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 thinly sliced red onion
2 cups of shredded lettuce
1 mashed avocado
1 thinly sliced tomato
1/4 cup of jalapeno pepper
1/4 cup of mayonnaise
1 cup of cotija cheese
8 torta bread
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of cumin
1/4 cup of lime juice
1/4 cup chopped parsley (optional)

Directions

To marinate the steak, combine the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, chili peppers, and cumin in a small bowl. Add marinade and steak to a plastic ziplock bag. Massage gently to completely coat the steak with sauce. Refrigerate the steak overnight.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the pan. Put the marinated steaks in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes per side of meat.
Transfer the medium-rare steaks to a cutting board and cut into strips.
Cut the bread in half. Spread mayonnaise on each bread. In a separate pan, cook the tortas with the mayonnaise side down for about 3 minutes.
Then top the torta bread with mashed avocado, sliced steak, lettuce, tomato, onion, cotija cheese and jalapeno peppers. Close the torta sandwich and serve it.

The grill or pan must be hot before adding the torta. Cook each side of the tortilla for just a few minutes to avoid overcooking, which causes a tough texture.
Chop all the ingredients into similarly sized and preferably small pieces. This way you can cook quickly and evenly.

What Is Torta?

Torta is a Mexican sandwich made with meat, gravy and other toppings such as cream, avocado, salsa, and lettuce and served on a soft bun. Torta may refer to cake, pies, pancakes, sandwiches, or omelets, depending on the culture. It is possible to prepare tortas with just about any ingredient, but Mexico City's pambazo and torta de tamal are two of the best-known local versions of the dish.

Bolillos and teleras are the two varieties of rolls used in Mexican tortas.

Bolillos are soft baguette-like torpedo-shaped rolls. Tortas built with bolillo rolls are known as lonches. Bilotes are a kind of sourdough bolillo that may be sweet or savory.
Teleras have two score lines in the middle. They are thinner, softer, and rounder than bolillos.

The dish is very popular in Mexico and can be found in any city with a lot of people from Mexico.

What To Serve with Mexican Torta?

Chips: Chips go great with a cold Mexican torta. With its crispy texture, it provides a contrast with soft torta bread.

How to Store Mexican Style Steak Torta?

It is best to finish the torta right away. If you still want to keep it, pack the bread and other ingredients separately. Wrap in parchment paper or wax paper. You can wrap the tortilla tightly with cling film to keep the loose ingredients together. Then put it in an airtight bag. Freeze this way for up to 3 months.

If you're packing a hot Mexican torta, use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper to keep it warm or reheat it in the oven later.
