Mix soy, a little neutral oil and garlic with cumin, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, black pepper and a little hot honey; mix well.

  • cilantro

  • tomato
  • mayo
  • juice from pickled jalapenos
  • salt
For the sauce, mix mayo with juice from pickled jalapenos and a pinch of salt.
Grill the steak very hot and fast, a few minutes a side; pull the thinner pieces first so they do not keep cooking.
Cut the steak with the grain into pieces, then turn and cut across the grain.
  • torta
  • cheese
  • beans
  • oil
Crisp the torta a little; melt cheese on the flat top until crispy, then add onion and cilantro down the middle, a layer of beans heated with a little oil and cumin, and the beef.
