Mexican-Tortas: The Big Nutrition Sandwiches.

Ingredients:

• 4 (3 ounce) thin-cut beef round steaks
• 4 Mexican-style sandwich rolls (bolillos)
• 1/4 cup sour cream, divided
• 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans - drained, rinsed, and mashed - divided
• 2 avocados - peeled, pitted and sliced
• 2 large tomatoes, sliced
• 2 pickled jalapeno peppers, sliced into quarters lengthwise
• 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce, divided
• 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
• 1 cup crumbled queso fresco (Mexican fresh cheese), divided
• 1 lime, quartered

How to cook:

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and pan-fry the round steaks 5 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. Slice the rolls lengthwise. Spread about 1 tablespoon of sour cream onto one side of each roll, and top with about 1/3 cup of mashed pinto beans per sandwich.
   
2. Place a cooked round steak per sandwich on top of the pinto beans, and then layer each sandwich with one-fourth of the avocado slices, tomato slices, and sliced pickled jalapenos, about 1/2 cup of shredded lettuce, 1/4 cup of cilantro, and 1/4 cup of crumbled queso fresco cheese.
   
3. Squeeze a lime wedge over each sandwich, close, and serve.
