Beef Torta
A flavorful sandwich made with beans, cheese, thin-sliced beef piled high with fresh veggies.
Ingredients
- 3 Roma Tomatoes diced
- 1 Small White Onion diced
- 1 Romaine Heart shredded
- ½ bunch Cilantro chopped
- 2 Limes quartered
- 6 Bollio Rolls
- 12 slices Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Cooking Oil
For the Beans
- 2 15oz can Refried Beans
- 1 15oz can Pinto Beans drained
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
For the Beef
- 3 lb Skirt Steak, thin-sliced
- 1 tbsp Tajin
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 2 tbsp Oil
Instructions
- Add beef ingredients to a gallon sized zippered bag. Seal up and swish around to evenly coat all sides of the beef. Let rest for at least 15 minutes (up to overnight, the refrigerator).
- Preheat oven to 450degF.
- Add bean ingredients to a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir to combine and let cook together, stirring regularly until ready to build the tortas.
- In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add pieces of beef and cook on each side for 3-5 minutes (may need to cook in batches). Remove to a cutting board and let rest for at least 5 minutes before chopping up.
- Split the rolls and line out on a baking sheet. Spray the inside lightly with cooking spray. Place in oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and place 2 slices of cheese on each roll and place back into oven for 5-7 minutes more (until melted).
- Build the torta - add a large spoonful of beans over melted cheese. Then add a portion of steak. Next add lettuce, onion, tomato and cilantro. Squeeze quarter lime over top.
