Pork & Cheddar Torta - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 crusty rolls, toasted (the traditional roll is a \"telera\", but a hoagie or French bread roll is just fine)
    2 center-cut pork chops
    1 lime, juice of
    1/2 cup water or 1/2 cup chicken broth
    4 tablespoons refried beans
    2 jalapeno chiles, sliced (use Fresno chiles if you like it on the mild side)
    1 small tomatoes, sliced
    Other toppings
    lettuce
    chopped cilantro
    onion
    1 bit mayonnaise (or Mexican crema, or sour cream)
    lots black pepper
Preparation
    Pan-fry pork chops until nicely browned.
    Simmer them, covered, with 1/2 cup water or broth until chops are done and tender, about 10 minutes more.
    While hot, slice pork thinly and place in a plastic zipper bag with the sliced chiles and lime juice.
    Refrigerate until cooled.
    To assemble torta: scoop out a little bread from inside of rolls so they're hollowed slightly.
    Spread the bottom half with refried beans; spread the top with mayo, crema or sour cream.
    Stack sandwich with the lime-marinated pork and chiles, plus tomato slices, lettuce, onions, cilantro, and cheddar cheese.
    Sprinkle liberally with black pepper.
