TORTA MILANESA

Steps:

• Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper all over. Put the flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Put the breadcrumbs in a second plate and the beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Dip the cutlets into the flour, then the eggs and finally into the breadcrumbs, pressing down on both sides so that the breadcrumbs adhere to the meat.
• Heat enough oil in a large skillet to come 1/3-inch up the sides of pan until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. Working in two batches, pan-fry the cutlets until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to some paper towels to drain.
• To assemble the sandwiches, halve the rolls horizontally. Pull out the soft center of the bread slices and discard. Place the cutlets on the bottom halves of the rolls and top with mayonnaise if using, the lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion and jalapeno. Arrange the sandwiches on serving plates and garnish with lime wedges.

BEEF MILANESA TORTA RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• 1. Add the crackers to the food processor, along with the spices listed. Pulse, then process on high until you get a fine cracker meal. Transfer to a shallow dish, set aside. 2. Season the beef lightly with salt and pepper and transfer to a plate until ready to use. In another shallow dish, lightly beat the eggs. Prep your vegetables, cover until ready to use. 3. Preheat 1/2 cup of oil to medium heat for 5 minutes. Dip the beef into the egg to cover, then coat with cracker meal using hands to gently press onto beef. 4. Once oil is hot, cook the milanesa for about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Try not to move it too much or the breading may come off. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil paper to keep warm. When you are frying the last piece, heat the refried beans until warm. 5. Slice the milanesa in half so you have 6 equal pieces.To the roll, spread with refried beans, lettuce, tomato, avocado, beef milanesa, onions and salsa. Serve with crispy potato wedges. Tips: To quick-pickle the red onions, squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the onions. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Do this first thing so the onions have time to pickle while you cook. If you don't eat beef, this recipe can also be prepared with chicken.
