Tortas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 (3 ounce) thin-cut beef round steaks
    4 Mexican-style sandwich rolls (bolillos)
    1/4 cup sour cream, divided
    1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans - drained, rinsed, and mashed - divided
    2 avocados - peeled, pitted and sliced
    2 large tomatoes, sliced
    2 pickled jalapeno peppers, sliced into quarters lengthwise
    2 cups shredded romaine lettuce, divided
    1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
    1 cup crumbled queso fresco (Mexican fresh cheese), divided
    1 lime, quartered
Preparation
    Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and pan-fry the round steaks 5 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness.
    Slice the rolls lengthwise. Spread about 1 tablespoon of sour cream onto one side of each roll, and top with about 1/3 cup of mashed pinto beans per sandwich. Place a cooked round steak per sandwich on top of the pinto beans, and then layer each sandwich with one-fourth of the avocado slices, tomato slices, and sliced pickled jalapenos, about 1/2 cup of shredded lettuce, 1/4 cup of cilantro, and 1/4 cup of crumbled queso fresco cheese. Squeeze a lime wedge over each sandwich, close, and serve.
