TORTAS DE MILANESA RECIPES

Steps:

• Dredge steaks in egg and breadcrumbs, set aside.
• Heat about 1/4 inch oil in a large non-stick skillet to medium heat.
• Test temp of oil by sprinkling some breadcrumbs into oil.
• If they do nothing the oil is too cold, if they burn the oil is too hot, if they sizzle but don't burn it's ready.
• Fry steaks a few at a time about 3 minutes or so on each side (just until they are golden brown).
• Put steaks in a warm oven to keep warm while you continue with the next steps.
• In a small skillet brown chorizo until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes; drain on paper towel and set aside.
• To assemble sandwiches: you might want to heat bread in a warm oven, but every time I do this step the bread is still cold by the time I am done assembling so I have started to skip this step.
• If using French bread, half or other wise cut loaf to the size you want for your sandwiches.
• Then split the bread (or sub buns) down the center and scoop out excess bread.
• To each sandwich you will do the following: to the top half spread liberally with sour cream; sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco.
• Set aside.
• To the bottom half spread with refried beans (I just spread it straight from the can with a butter knife).
• Sprinkle with 1/4 of the chorizo.
• Put 1-2 steaks (depending on the size of your steaks) on top of chorizo in one layer.
• Top with shredded lettuce.
• Then add the sliced tomato.
• Followed by the avocado slices.
• Then the onions.
• Add the sandwich top and open really wide!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Seal chicken breast in a resealable zip-top plastic bag. Pound flat to 1/4-inch thickness. Add cornstarch and shake to coat.
• Whisk egg in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken breast through the egg; leave it in the bowl. Add bread crumbs, cilantro, chipotle, oregano, cumin, and pepper to the bag; shake well. Lift chicken from the bowl, letting any excess egg drip off. Add to the bread crumb mixture. Shake and press the seasoned bread crumbs over the chicken breast.
• Place bolillo buns in the preheated oven until warmed through and toasted, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix mayonnaise and hot sauce together in a small mixing bowl.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until browned, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut the chicken in half lengthwise.
• Assemble the sandwiches. Spread the spicy mayonnaise over both sides of the rolls. Add equal amounts of avocado, tomato, lettuce, carrots, and jalapenos to 2 halves. Add chicken and the tops of the rolls. Serve with the remaining spicy mayonnaise for dipping.
