Instructions
- To begin, cut your carne asada into strips or sandwich-size pieces.
- Open your telero rolls and spread mashed avocado on the inside of both the top and bottom bun.
- If using refried beans, spread it across the top bun with the mashed avocado.
- Then, stack the bottom bun with the carne asada, tomatoes, red onions, shredded iceberg lettuce, cotija cheese, pickled jalapenos, and hot sauce, if using.
- Gently press the top and bottom buns together, forming a sandwich. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you don't have cotija cheese, you can also use crumbled feta or Parmesan cheese.
- For some added heat, use a couple of dashes of hot sauce!
- To store: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. However, the lettuce and tomatoes could make the bread soggy, so I recommend enjoying it immediately after making it.
