Begin by marinating the steak. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Place the flank steak into a shallow dish or ziplock bag and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is well-coated, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
While the steak is resting, cut the telera rolls in half horizontally and spread about 0.5 tablespoons of butter on the cut sides of each roll.
Place the rolls on the grill, butter-side down, and toast them for 1-2 minutes until they're golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted roll.
Top the mayonnaise with sliced avocado, tomato slices, thinly sliced onion, chopped cilantro, and pickled jalapeños.
Arrange the sliced steak evenly over the prepared rolls, then place the top half of the roll to close the sandwich.
Serve the steak tortas immediately, savoring every bite of the flavorful and satisfying Mexican sandwich.
