In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a flat patty that is slightly larger than the size of the rolls.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Optional: If desired, toast the bolillo or sandwich rolls in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
To assemble the tortas, spread 1 tablespoon of soy-free mayonnaise (optional) on the bottom half of each roll.
Place a cooked beef patty on the bottom half of each roll. Top each patty with a lettuce leaf, a slice or two of tomato, sliced avocado, and pickled jalapeños (optional).
Cover with the top half of the roll and serve immediately. Enjoy your Soy-Free Tortas de Carne!
