PEPITOS (MEXICAN STEAK SANDWICHES WITH CHIPOTLE CREMA)
The pepito might be one of the lesser known of the Mexican tortas but it is one of my favorites. This northern Mexican sandwich is served on toasted bolillos (small French rolls), smothered with a tangy, spicy and smoky chipotle crema. The steaks are quick-marinated in lime juice, olive oil and garlic for an easy weeknight skillet torta. But if you have more time, let the steaks marinate for a few hours and fire up the grill for a smokier version of this mouthwatering torta.

Steps:
- Stir together the lime juice, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 of the grated garlic cloves and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl until completely combined. Add the steak, toss to coat and let sit until ready to cook. (Steaks can be marinated for up to 6 hours in the refrigerator, covered tightly with plastic wrap.)
- Stir together the crema, chipotle (1 for mild, 2 for medium, 3 for spicy), adobo and remaining 1 grated garlic clove in a small bowl until completely combined. Let sit until ready to assemble.
- Heat a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Cook the scallions until charred on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside until ready to serve.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the hot skillet and cook the steaks (they will soak up all of the marinade so no need to drain), until charred on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Let rest 10 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin strips.
- Spread a generous amount of the chipotle crema on the split sides of each bolillo and divide the steak among the 4 bottom bolillos. Top with the sliced avocado, jalapeños and cilantro. Top with the tomatoes and season with salt. Close the sandwiches and serve with the charred scallions.

Steps:
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil.
- In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the eggs. In another shallow bowl, put the bread crumbs. Dip the beef in the egg, then in bread crumbs, carefully coating both sides.
- Saute the meat in the hot oil until the bread crumbs are browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the meat from the oil, but keep the skillet and oil warm. Cut the meat into 1/2-inch strips.
- Cut the roll in half lengthwise and pull out the soft center from both sides. Cover the bottom side with mayonnaise and beef strips. Place 4 ripe avocado slices on the other side and spread the slices, like a thick butter. Layer 4 slices of tomato on top of the beef and cover with a mound of mixed greens, some sliced onion, and the pickled jalapeno.
- Put the torta back in the skillet and brown the roll, pressing down with a spatula. When brown on both sides, cut and serve.

MEXICAN TORTAS DE MILANESA
It is a Mexican steak sandwich which is nothing like you've had before. Don't let the long recipe scare you off, it's really easy--it just takes a lot of words to explain each step. This is an authentic meal my husband grew up on in Mexico. You won't find anything like it at Taco Bell, I promise.

Steps:
- Dredge steaks in egg and breadcrumbs, set aside.
- Heat about 1/4 inch oil in a large non-stick skillet to medium heat.
- Test temp of oil by sprinkling some breadcrumbs into oil.
- If they do nothing the oil is too cold, if they burn the oil is too hot, if they sizzle but don't burn it's ready.
- Fry steaks a few at a time about 3 minutes or so on each side (just until they are golden brown).
- Put steaks in a warm oven to keep warm while you continue with the next steps.
- In a small skillet brown chorizo until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes; drain on paper towel and set aside.
- To assemble sandwiches: you might want to heat bread in a warm oven, but every time I do this step the bread is still cold by the time I am done assembling so I have started to skip this step.
- If using French bread, half or other wise cut loaf to the size you want for your sandwiches.
- Then split the bread (or sub buns) down the center and scoop out excess bread.
- To each sandwich you will do the following: to the top half spread liberally with sour cream; sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco.
- Set aside.
- To the bottom half spread with refried beans (I just spread it straight from the can with a butter knife).
- Sprinkle with 1/4 of the chorizo.
- Put 1-2 steaks (depending on the size of your steaks) on top of chorizo in one layer.
- Top with shredded lettuce.
- Then add the sliced tomato.
- Followed by the avocado slices.
- Then the onions.
- Add the sandwich top and open really wide!

- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat. Lay the beef on a large plate, and season it generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Pour the Worcestershire sauce and squeeze the lime over both sides of the beef.
- Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet in a very thin layer. Working in batches to avoid crowding the skillet, cook the beef until browned on both sides, 30 to 45 seconds per side. Transfer the beef to a clean plate to rest.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Spread the butter evenly over the cut sides of the baguette. Cook the baguette pieces, buttered sides down, in the skillet until they are light golden brown and crisp, but still soft in the middle, a minute or two.
- Spread a layer of beans (a tablespoon or two) over the baguette bottoms. Spread the mayonnaise and mustard over the baguette tops. Place the beef slices on the baguette bottoms, cutting and stacking the beef if necessary so it fits neatly on the baguette. Top with sliced pickled jalapenos, thinly sliced white onion, slices of ripe Mexican Hass avocado, and a pinch of salt. Cover with the baguette tops and press firmly but gently.
