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.
STEAK-AND-AVOCADO SANDWICH
A popular street food in Mexico and Venezuela, a pepito is a torta that's typically filled with steak and beans. Here, they're sandwiched between seeded rolls, along with juicy tomato and creamy avocado, and drizzled with crema and hot sauce.

Steps:
- Season steak with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil and Worcestershire, turning to evenly coat; let stand 10 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. Add steak and cook, flipping once, until seared and medium-rare, 5 to 7 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. Return skillet to medium heat (do not wipe clean). Add 1 cup onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add beans with liquid and 1/3 cup water; simmer until thickened slightly, 5 minutes. Smash with a potato masher or fork until spreadable. Thinly slice steak, then stir steak juices into bean mixture.
- Season tomato and avocado with salt. Spread bean mixture onto rolls. Top with steak, tomato, avocado, remaining 1/2 cup onion, crema, and hot sauce; serve.

Steps:
- Peel plantains, and cut in half widthwise, then cut in half lengthwise.
- In a large pot or deep-fryer, preheat vegetable oil to 325°F.
- Add the plaintains to the oil, and fry for 5 minutes.
- Remove them and place on a flat surface.
- Increase heat to 375°F.
- With a metal flat spatula, press down onto the plantains until they are flat, less than 1/4 of an inch.
- Using a knife to help scrape the plantain off the spatula, deep-fry the plantains again for 3 minutes.
- Pull them out and season with salt and pepper.
- Combine the breadcrumbs, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder to create Cajun spice.
- Dip each piece of steak into 4 ounces melted butter and then into the Cajun spice, covering both sides of the steak.
- Spread the remaining melted butter onto a flat top or metal skillet, place the steak on top and cook on both sides until medium or preferred degree of doneness.
- After the steak is done, slice it thinly against the grain.
- Combine the mayonnaise and chipotle sauce to make the Chipotle Mayonnaise.
- Onions: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Slice the onion very thinly.
- Place in the flour mixture. Squeeze the slices of onion as you are mixing them with the flour mixture. Shake off the excess flour.
- Drop a little bit of onions into 375 F oil at a time to prevent sticking together. Cook for 1 minute and 30 seconds or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Build a sandwich by layering 1 fried plantain, 1 tbsp chipotle mayonnaise (spread coast to coast on bottom plantain), sliced steak, and 1/3 cup of shredded cheese. Place under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes or use the microwave to melt the cheese. Then continue layering 1/2 cup of fried onion, 1 more tbsp chipotle mayonnaise, spread coast to coast on top plantain.
- Cut sandwich in half before serving.

Steps:
- Trim some of the excess fat from the perimeter of the steaks, if desired. Season the steaks generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic and chipotle peppers.
- Turn on an exhaust fan or open a kitchen window.
- Heat a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet. Add the steaks and cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes or until they have formed enough of a crust on the bottom to release easily. Use tongs to turn them over and cook for 4 to 5 minutes (medium-rare) or longer for the desired degree of doneness; moisture will just begin to accumulate on the surface of the steaks when they are medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep them warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium; add the onion, garlic and a generous pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until the onion and garlic have softened, then stir in the cumin and oregano. Add the beer and cook for a minute or so, using a wooden spoon to dislodge any browned bits. Add the broth, cream and chipotle peppers. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Carefully transfer to a blender; be sure to remove the center knob of the blender lid so steam can escape. Place a towel over the lid opening. Puree until smooth. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer and return to the skillet. Squeeze in about 1 teaspoon of juice from the lime half and add any accumulated juices from the steaks. Taste, and add seasoning or lime juice as needed.
- Cut the steaks crosswise into thick slices and divide them among individual plates. Pour the sauce over and/or around the meat.

- 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.
