Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • vegetable oil for the grill

  • 1 pound sirloin steak

  • 1 tablespoon garlic salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ground cayenne pepper to taste

  • 4 Mexican bolillo or Kaiser rolls, split

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • ½ cup refried beans

  • 1 large avocado, thinly sliced

  • 1 large tomato, thinly sliced

  • 2 cups shredded lettuce

  • 1 ounce crumbled cotija cheese (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Season steak with garlic salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper.

  3. Grill on the preheated grill until medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer steak to a cutting board and cover with foil.

  4. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread both halves of each roll with mayonnaise. Brown rolls, mayonnaise-side down, until golden, about 3 minutes.

  5. Place refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high until warmed through, about 1 minute.

  6. Slice sirloin steak against the grain into thin strips.

  7. Spread a thin layer of beans on bottom half of each roll. Layer with steak, avocado, tomato, and lettuce. Top with cheese and top half of roll.

Recipe Tip:

If cotija cheese is not available, use Cheddar.
