Ingredients
Method
Brown beef and onions on a griddle, seasoning with salt, pepper, and adobo-style seasoning.
About 4 min
Tip: Cook until the onions soften and the meat starts getting crispy bits.
Chop the beef finely with spatulas, lay cheese over the pile, and keep chopping until everything blends together.
About 4 min
Tip: That chopped texture is the whole identity of the sandwich.
Load the mixture into toasted rolls and finish with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and ketchup.
About 2 min
Tip: Wrap for 1 minute before serving so the bread softens slightly like a real bodega order.
