CARNE ASADA SANDWICH RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• Brush steak with oil; sprinkle evenly with cumin, chile powder, and salt. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Combine mayonnaise, cilantro, rind, juice, and garlic in a bowl; refrigerate.
• Hollow out top and bottom halves of bread, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick shell; reserve torn bread for another use. Coat cut sides of bread with cooking spray. Place baguette halves, cut sides down, on grill rack; grill 1 minute or until toasted. Remove from grill. Coat grill rack with cooking spray. Add steak to grill; grill 10 minutes or until desired degree of doneness, turning occasionally. Place steak on a cutting board; let stand 5 minutes. Cut across the grain into thin slices.
• Spread top half of bread with mayonnaise mixture. Arrange avocado over bottom half of bread; top with steak, tomato, jalapeño, and top half of bread. Cut sandwich into 4 pieces.

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.
• serve with extra salsa & guacamole (if there's any left still!).
