How to Make Avocado And Beef Torta

  1. Mash 1 ripe avocado with a fork until creamy.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes into the mashed avocado.
  3. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Rub the seasoning mix evenly over both sides of a 1-pound beef steak (sirloin, ribeye, or your favorite cut).
  6. Grill or broil the steak to your desired doneness (about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare).
  7. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. Cut the steak diagonally into thin slices.
  9. Cut the Italian rolls horizontally almost all the way through, creating a pocket.
  10. Spread the avocado mixture evenly on the top half of each roll.
  11. Layer 2 cups of mixed greens, the sliced beef, and 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes on the bottom half of each roll. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  12. Close the sandwich and cut crosswise into 4 pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy!
