TORTA MILANESA

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Four 4-ounce chicken cutlets (about 1/4-inch thick)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, beaten
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 bolillo or telera rolls or French bread
Mayonnaise, optional
Twelve 1/4-inch slices avocado
12 slices pickled jalapeno or 4 canned chipotles in adobo
12 thin slices white onion
Eight 1/4-inch slices tomato
4 leaves iceberg lettuce
8 lime wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper all over. Put the flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Put the breadcrumbs 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 breadcrumbs, pressing down on both sides so that the breadcrumbs adhere to the meat.
  • Heat enough oil in a large skillet to come 1/3-inch up the sides of pan until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. Working in two batches, pan-fry the cutlets until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to some paper towels to drain.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, halve the rolls horizontally. Pull out the soft center of the bread slices and discard. Place the cutlets on the bottom halves of the rolls and top with mayonnaise if using, the lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion and jalapeno. Arrange the sandwiches on serving plates and garnish with lime wedges.

TORTA ASADA (MEXICAN CARNE ASADA SANDWICH)



Torta Asada (Mexican Carne Asada Sandwich) image

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:

  • 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.

  • cut carne asada into small pieces or strips.
  • spread one half of the bolillos with guacamole.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the meat, make sure to give it enough space so that it can brown properly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help to prevent the meat from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the meat over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Let the meat rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more flavorful and tender.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the meat: This will help to prevent the meat from shredding.
  • Serve the tortas immediately: This is when they are at their best.
