TORTA BURGERS

Torta Burgers image

Mexican tortas are traditionally served on pillowy, slightly sweet telera rolls typically found in Mexican panaderias. If you cannot find telera rolls, look for Portuguese rolls or any large, soft deli roll.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/2 cup crema or sour cream
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
Cooking spray
8 slices pepper Jack cheese (about 6 ounces)
4 telera or Portuguese rolls, split
1/2 cup fire-roasted tomato salsa
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
1 avocado, thinly sliced
3 radishes, thinly sliced
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

Mix the crema, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Combine the beef with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Divide the mixture into 8 equal-size balls.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Smash 4 of the beef balls into very thin patties. Add the patties to the skillet and cook, smashing them even more with a spatula, until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip the patties, top each with a slice of cheese and cook until the patties are cooked through and the cheese melts, about 2 more minutes for medium doneness. Wipe out the skillet, lightly coat with more cooking spray and repeat with the remaining beef and cheese to make 4 more patties.
Spread the crema mixture on the cut sides of the rolls. Place 2 patties in each roll with the salsa, lettuce, avocado and radishes. Serve with tortilla chips.

Mexican Milanese Style Sandwiches (

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Time 28m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

Four 4-ounce chicken, beef or pork cutlets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
1 cup plain bread crumbs, for dredging
2 eggs, beaten
Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
4 Bolillo or Telera rolls or French bread
Chipotle Mayonnaise, recipe follows
4 lettuce leaves optional
Eight 1/4-inch slices tomato
Twelve 1/4-inch slices avocado
12 thin slices white onion
12 pickled jalapeno slices or 4 canned chipotles in adobo
8 lime wedges, for garnish
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce or 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Season the cutlets with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the flour in a dinner plate and season with salt and pepper. Put the bread crumbs 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 bread crumbs, pressing down on both sides so that the bread crumbs adhere to the meat.
Heat 1/2-inch oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F. Pan-fry the cutlets in batches until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Set aside to drain on paper towels.
To assemble the sandwiches, halve the rolls horizontally. Pull out the soft center of the slices and discard. Spread each roll evenly with the Chipotle Mayonnaise. Put the cutlets on the bottom halves of the rolls and top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion and jalapeno. Arrange the sandwiches on serving plates and garnish with lime wedges.
In a small bowl mash together the chipotle chile, lime juice and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 pound sirloin steak
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
ground cayenne pepper to taste
4 kaiser rolls, split
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ cup refried beans
1 large avocado, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, sliced
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 ounce crumbled cotija cheese

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Season steak with garlic salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
Grill steak on the preheated grill until medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat to a cutting board and cover with foil.
Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread both halves of each roll with mayonnaise. Brown the rolls, mayonnaise-side down until golden, about 3 minutes. Warm the refried bean in a bowl in the microwave, about 1 minute on High, and slice the sirloin steak into thin strips.
Spread a thin layer of beans on the bottom half of each roll, layer with steak, avocado, tomato, and lettuce. Top with cheese, if desired, and close the sandwich with the top of the roll.

Tips:

For a crispier torta shell, brush the outsides with olive oil before grilling.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the tortas in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat.
To make your own refried beans, simply mash cooked pinto beans with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
If you don't have any pickled jalapeños on hand, you can use fresh jalapeños instead. Just be sure to remove the seeds and ribs before slicing.
Feel free to add other toppings to your tortas, such as sliced avocado, sour cream, or shredded lettuce.
