Description

These Chipotle Beef & Avocado Tortas offer a bold, smoky flavor profile perfect for lunch or a casual dinner. The lean ground beef is seasoned with rich chipotle peppers in adobo, creating a tender patty with a gentle kick. Toasted bolillo rolls provide the perfect crunch, while cool sour cream, ripe guacamole, and fresh tomato slices balance the heat. This hearty Mexican-inspired sandwich is satisfyingly savory and comes together quickly, making it an excellent choice for weeknight meals or potluck gatherings where you want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef, minced chipotle chili in adobo sauce, minced garlic, minced green onion, and ground cumin.
  3. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper, then mix thoroughly until just combined.
  4. Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and form into patties approximately 3/4 inch thick.
  5. Place the patties on the hot grill and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
  6. While the beef cooks, split the bolillo rolls in half and toast the cut sides on the grill for about 30 seconds until lightly charred and warm.
  7. Spread a layer of sour cream on the bottom half of each toasted roll.
  8. Place a grilled beef patty on top of the sour cream.
  9. Top the beef with a slice of fresh tomato and a generous dollop of guacamole.
  10. Cover with the top half of the roll and serve immediately.
