Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (85% lean)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (soy-free)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Oil (e.g., avocado or olive oil)
- 4 pieces Bolillo rolls or small sandwich rolls (soy-free)
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise (optional, soy-free)
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
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!
