Ingredients

• Beef flank steak - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Bolillo rolls - 2
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Chipotle mayo - 4 tablespoons (1 tablespoon per serving)

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the beef flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it's well coated, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
4. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
5. While the steak is resting, cut the bolillo rolls in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster.
6. Spread 2 tablespoons of chipotle mayo on each toasted bolillo half.
7. Layer the bottom half of each bolillo with lettuce leaves, sliced steak, avocado, tomato, red onion, and fresh cilantro.
8. Top with the other half of the bolillo roll, serve immediately, and enjoy your Torta de Asada!
