Instructions

  1. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet. 
  2. Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper. Add the flour to a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, lightly beat the eggs. In another shallow bowl, add the panko. Lightly coat both sides of the steaks in the flour, then egg, then panko. 
  3. Pan fry 2 steaks at a time until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the skillet and onto a paper-towel-lined-plate. Repeat with the remaining 2 steaks. Sprinkle the fried steaks with salt. In a small bowl, add the sour cream, lime zest, lime juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
  4. Cut the rolls in half lengthwise and spread one side with the sour cream mixture. Lay the steaks on each roll and top with the lettuce, Roasted Salsa, jalapenos and avocados. Blast Spanish radio station and enjoy.
  5. Position a rack on the top of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeno, onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast until soft, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the roasted vegetables to a food processor with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the cilantro, vinegar, sugar and lime juice. Pulse until chunky. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Love it. Easy and fast to fix thank you.

Great idea to start from. My Mexican husband was very excited to eat this. I didn’t have time to bother making a salsa, so I just used sliced tomatoes. I smeared the sour cream on and just squeezed lime over the entire sandwich. Very good. I added garlic powder, onion powder, a touch of cumin and oregano to the breading. Thanks for the inspiration.

I must have done something wrong. My meat was really soggy. The sauce was good but overall I thought it was just kind of a mess.
