TORTA ASADA (MEXICAN CARNE ASADA SANDWICH)
1 star reviewer zmailed me and said: "I really don't think the problem was with your recipe at all, my family are not big on things like avacado, or chilli like me. It was just not for my family." i'm not sure why she tried my recipe if her family doesnt like the ingredients or why she didnt comment in her review, but i have an idea; careful what you say around here, people can leave bad reviews even if they havent tried your recipe..sucks :( if you can, start by going to a carniceria & picking up some pre-marinated carne asada & some bolillos. if thats not available to you then i suggest you marinate the steaks in Recipe #220759 only through step 6 using ingredients vinegar through paprika & you can use any soft roll type bread if you cant find bolillos. these are so tasty you HAVE to try 'em!!

Steps:
- start by making the salsa fresca; combine all salsa ingredients & chill for an hour.
- about 20 minutes before you're ready to cook the meat combine guacamole ingredients with a electric mixer until smooth. i'd suggest bring out the salsa now & hav some tortilla chips for dipping while waiting for the rest of the meal.
- turn oven on 250 for toasting.
- heat beans on med-low until hot.
- in a large skillet or on a bbq cook steaks until light brown on the outside & still slightly pink in the middle -- carne asada should not be dark brown & charred.
- once done let sit for 5 minutes.
- while the meat is resting slice bolillos in half & toast for 4 minutes.
- cut carne asada into small pieces or strips.
- spread one half of the bolillos with guacamole.
- spread the other half with hot beans.
- sprinkle cheese on beans, if using, & top with carne asada, lettuce, salsa fresca & hot sauce, if using.
- close sandwich, press down & cut in half.
- serve with extra salsa & guacamole (if there's any left still!).

Steps:
- 1. Combine roma tomatoes, chiles, vinegar, pumpkin and sesame seeds, oregano, salt, cumin, allspice, cloves, and garlic in a blender, and purée until very smooth. Pour through a medium strainer into a bowl, discard solids, and stir in ¾ cup water.
- 2. Heat oven to 350°. Split roll and fill bottom half with pork. Place on baking sheet and bake until warmed through and bread is toasted, about 6 minutes. Add onion, radish, and top bun; pour chile de arbol sauce over sandwich, and let sit, so that the sauce soaks in.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: Torta bread should be crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Telera or Bolillo rolls are traditional choices, but you can also use French bread or a baguette.
- Pile on the fillings: Tortas are known for their overstuffed fillings. Don't be afraid to add lots of meat, cheese, and vegetables. Some popular fillings include carnitas, al pastor, milanesa, or ham and cheese.
- Use a variety of sauces: Sauces add flavor and moisture to tortas. Some popular choices include salsa roja, salsa verde, guacamole, or chipotle mayo.
- Grill or press the torta: Grilling or pressing the torta helps to melt the cheese and toast the bread. This makes for a more delicious and satisfying sandwich.
Conclusion:
Tortas are a delicious and versatile sandwich that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With endless possibilities for fillings and sauces, tortas are a great way to satisfy your cravings. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tortas a try.
