Ingredients
- 8 ounces Plant-based steak strips

Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, lime juice, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Add the plant-based steak strips, toss to coat, and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Slice the bolillo rolls in half lengthwise. If desired, lightly toast the cut sides of the rolls for added texture and flavor.
Spread a layer of refried beans onto the bottom half of each roll. Top with a portion of the cooked plant-based steak strips.
Layer sliced avocado, pickled jalapeños, shredded lettuce, and tomato slices on top of the steak strips. Spread a thin layer of vegan mayonnaise on the top half of each roll.
Add a sprinkle of cilantro leaves (if using) and carefully press the sandwich together.
