Mexican Steak Torta

Bo found this recipe and it is quite delicious! We use the Torta's from Costco, which we both think is what makes this so good!

INGREDIENTS

1 lb sirloin steak
1 Tbsp garlic salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. ground cumin
ground cayenne pepper to taste
4 kaiser rolls, split - (we used the torta's from Costco)
1/4 C mayonnaise
1/2 C refried beans
1 large avocado, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, sliced
2 C shredded lettuce
crumbled cotija cheese (We just used cheddar)


DIRECTIONS

1 - Season steak with garlic salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper and cook on lightly oiled outdoor grill, or oven/stove combination.

2 - Grill about 5 minutes per side, until medium-rare. Remove from heat to a cutting board and cover with foil.

3 - Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread both halves of each roll with mayo. Brown the rolls, mayo-side down until golden, about 3 minutes. Warm the refried beans in a bowl in the microwave, about 1 minute on high and slice the sirloin steak into thin strips.

4 - Spread a thin layer of beans on the bottom half of each roll, layer with steak, avocado, tomato, and lettuce. Top with cheese, if desired, and close the sandwich with the top of the roll.
