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)
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:
- start by making the salsa fresca; combine all salsa ingredients & chill for an hour.
- about 20 minutes before you're ready to cook the meat combine guacamole ingredients with a electric mixer until smooth. i'd suggest bring out the salsa now & hav some tortilla chips for dipping while waiting for the rest of the meal.
- 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.
- while the meat is resting slice bolillos in half & toast for 4 minutes.
- cut carne asada into small pieces or strips.
- spread one half of the bolillos with guacamole.
- spread the other half with hot beans.
- sprinkle cheese on beans, if using, & top with carne asada, lettuce, salsa fresca & hot sauce, if using.
- close sandwich, press down & cut in half.

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.
