Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lean top sirloin steak
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 cup Low-fat refried beans
- 4 Whole wheat or low-calorie bolillo rolls
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 4 Tomato slices
- 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeño slices
- 0.5 Avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Start by preparing the steak: In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steak and drizzle with lime juice. Let it marinate for 5–10 minutes.
While the steak marinates, slice the bolillo rolls in half and lightly toast them in the oven or a skillet for a better texture.
Spray a non-stick skillet or grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
Add the steak to the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, spread a thin layer of low-fat mayonnaise on the bottom half of each roll.
Spread a generous layer of warm low-fat refried beans onto the other half of each roll.
Layer the thinly sliced steak, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, pickled jalapeños, and avocado onto the bottom half of each roll.
Top each torta with the refried bean-covered half of the bread.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat steak torta while it's fresh and flavorful!
