Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 units bolillo or crusty sandwich rolls
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 4 units lettuce leaves
- 0.25 cup pickled jalapeños (optional)
- 4 tablespoons dairy-free mayonnaise
- 4 units lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, chopped onion, ground cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the seasonings into the beef.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about the size of your sandwich roll.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
While the patties are cooking, slice the bolillo or sandwich rolls in half horizontally and lightly toast them on a grill pan, skillet, or toaster.
Spread 1 tablespoon of dairy-free mayonnaise on the cut side of each roll. Add lettuce leaves, avocado slices, tomato slices, and a beef patty to each roll.
If using pickled jalapeños, add them on top of the tomato slices for some added spice.
Top with the other half of the roll and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an optional citrusy kick.
