Mexican Cemita
- 2 cups Cooking Oil
- 1 piece Beef Milanesa (thinly Pounded Breaded Beef)
- 1 whole Cemita Roll (or Other Sandwich Roll Of Choice), Halved
- 1/2 cups Refried Beans, Cooked
- 1 piece Oaxaca Cheese (golf-ball Size), Pull Into Strands
- 1/2 cups Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
- 1/2 whole Avocado, Peeled, Pitted And Mashed
- 1/2 whole Roma Tomato, Thinly Sliced
- 1/4 cups Spicy Roasted Salsa
- Salt To Taste
- Start by adding the oil into a large skillet, and bring it up to temperature, about 350 F. During this time, begin preparing all of your ingredients.
- When the oil comes to temperature, carefully slide in the beef Milanesa.
- Fry for about three minutes on each side, until each side is a deep golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove it from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Season with a pinch of salt.
- Now you can use something other than beef Milanesa, such as shredded chicken or heck even carnitas.
- So you are not limited to beef Milanesa, however it is a classic, and I highly recommend it.
- To assemble the sandwich, take the bottom half of the cemita roll, and lather on the cooked re-fried beans.
- Next, top with the beef Milanesa, the shredded Oaxaca cheese, the cilantro, mashed avocado, tomato and red salsa.
- Add the top of the seeded cemita bun and get into attack mode.
- Its a great sandwich.
- Now granted you could go with a smaller piece of beef Milanesa, but this is what was purchased from my local Mexican grocery store.
- It was great biting into it, and getting a bit of the cheese and salsa.
- And then you get into the awesome cemita itself, and well lets say its hard to put down.
- The creaminess of both the beans and avocado are perfectly balanced by the heat from the roasted salsa.
- And the saltiness of the cheese goes so well with the crisp and tender beef Milanesa.
- Its one of my favorite sandwiches, and I know you will love it!
- Hope you enjoy.
