Ingredients

Four 4-ounce chicken, beef or pork cutlets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
1 cup plain bread crumbs, for dredging
2 eggs, beaten
Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
4 Bolillo or Telera rolls or French bread
Chipotle Mayonnaise, recipe follows
4 lettuce leaves optional
Eight 1/4-inch slices tomato
Twelve 1/4-inch slices avocado
12 thin slices white onion
12 pickled jalapeno slices or 4 canned chipotles in adobo
8 lime wedges, for garnish
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce or 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Season the cutlets with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the flour in a dinner plate and season with salt and pepper. Put the bread crumbs in a second plate and the beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Dip the cutlets into the flour, then the eggs and finally into the bread crumbs, pressing down on both sides so that the bread crumbs adhere to the meat.
Heat 1/2-inch oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F. Pan-fry the cutlets in batches until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Set aside to drain on paper towels.
To assemble the sandwiches, halve the rolls horizontally. Pull out the soft center of the slices and discard. Spread each roll evenly with the Chipotle Mayonnaise. Put the cutlets on the bottom halves of the rolls and top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion and jalapeno. Arrange the sandwiches on serving plates and garnish with lime wedges.
In a small bowl mash together the chipotle chile, lime juice and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tortas were really dry. I think I might have used the wrong kind of bread.

These tortas were amazing! I used leftover milanesa, and they were still so delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tortas didn't turn out as good as the ones in the pictures. I think I might have overcooked the milanesa.

These tortas were a bit too greasy for my taste, but they were still pretty good.

I'm not a huge fan of tortas, but these were really good. The bread was soft and fluffy, the milanesa was crispy, and the toppings were all fresh and flavorful.
