PEPITOS (MEXICAN STEAK SANDWICHES WITH CHIPOTLE CREMA)



Pepitos (Mexican Steak Sandwiches with Chipotle Crema) image

The pepito might be one of the lesser known of the Mexican tortas but it is one of my favorites. This northern Mexican sandwich is served on toasted bolillos (small French rolls), smothered with a tangy, spicy and smoky chipotle crema. The steaks are quick-marinated in lime juice, olive oil and garlic for an easy weeknight skillet torta. But if you have more time, let the steaks marinate for a few hours and fire up the grill for a smokier version of this mouthwatering torta.

Provided by Rick Martinez

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 tortas

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely grated
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds flank or skirt steak, cut to fit your skillet
1/2 cup Mexican crema, crème fraiche or sour cream
1 to 3 canned chipotles in adobo (depending on your heat preference), smashed, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
4 large scallions, trimmed
4 Mexican bolillos or hoagie rolls, split and toasted
2 ripe avocados, sliced
4 to 8 pickled jalapeños, quartered lengthwise
1 cup packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
2 ripe tomatoes (or one large), sliced

Steps:

  • Stir together the lime juice, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 of the grated garlic cloves and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl until completely combined. Add the steak, toss to coat and let sit until ready to cook. (Steaks can be marinated for up to 6 hours in the refrigerator, covered tightly with plastic wrap.)
  • Stir together the crema, chipotle (1 for mild, 2 for medium, 3 for spicy), adobo and remaining 1 grated garlic clove in a small bowl until completely combined. Let sit until ready to assemble.
  • Heat a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Cook the scallions until charred on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside until ready to serve.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the hot skillet and cook the steaks (they will soak up all of the marinade so no need to drain), until charred on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Let rest 10 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin strips.
  • Spread a generous amount of the chipotle crema on the split sides of each bolillo and divide the steak among the 4 bottom bolillos. Top with the sliced avocado, jalapeños and cilantro. Top with the tomatoes and season with salt. Close the sandwiches and serve with the charred scallions.

Provided by LINDA W.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ pound eye of round, thinly sliced
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
4 leaves red leaf lettuce - rinsed, dried and torn
4 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Place sliced beef in a shallow bowl. In a jar, combine lime juice, honey, oil, sesame seeds, soy sauce, sesame oil and grated ginger. Seal lid tightly, and shake until well combined. Pour over beef, and marinate 30 minutes.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet until very hot. Pour beef and marinade into pan, and saute on high heat until steak is evenly brown. Remove beef with a slotted spoon. Continue boiling marinade until reduced by half, stirring frequently to prevent burning, about 5 minutes. Put steak slices back into marinade, mix well, and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Place lettuce leaves on tortillas, and evenly distribute steak slices between all tortillas. Fold bottom of tortilla up by 1/3, then tightly roll from the side until wrapped.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: For the best results, use a tender cut of steak. Flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are all good choices.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or you can get more creative with your flavors.
  • Cook the steak to your desired doneness: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your steak and how you like it cooked. For a medium-rare steak, cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. For a medium steak, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side. For a medium-well steak, cook for about 5-6 minutes per side.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: After you cook the steak, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Use fresh toppings: Fresh toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and onions add flavor and crunch to your steak wrap. You can also add other toppings like cheese, guacamole, salsa, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Mexican steak wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
