Ingredients:

Serving

6 bolillos rolls
1 1/2 lbs flank steaks, thinly sliced
1 (14 1/2 oz) can rosarita zesty fat free refried beans with jalapeno
2 cups lettuce, finely chopped
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
2 tbsp hot sauce (optional)
3 medium tomatoes, diced
3 tbsp yellow onions, finely minced
1 1/2 jalapenos, minced
1 lime , juice of
2 tbsp cilantro, finely minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
3 avocados
1 tbsp yellow onion, finely minced
1/2 a jalapeno, minced
1 tbsp cilantro, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 lime , juice of
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp pepper, fresh cracked

Directions:

Start by making the salsa fresca; combine all salsa ingredients & chill for an hour.
About 20 minutes before you're ready to cook the meat combine guacamole ingredients with a electric mixer until smooth. i'd suggest bring out the salsa now & hav some tortilla chips for dipping while waiting for the rest of the meal.
Turn oven on 250 for toasting.
Heat beans on med-low until hot.
In a large skillet or on a bbq cook steaks until light brown on the outside & still slightly pink in the middle - carne asada should not be dark brown & charred.
Once done let sit for 5 minutes.
While the meat is resting slice bolillos in half & toast for 4 minutes.
Cut carne asada into small pieces or strips.
Spread one half of the bolillos with guacamole.
Spread the other half with hot beans.
Sprinkle cheese on beans, if using, & top with carne asada, lettuce, salsa fresca & hot sauce, if using.
Close sandwich, press down & cut in half.
Serve with extra salsa & guacamole (if there's any left still!).
