Instructions
Make the milanesas
Whisk the egg in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Place flour and breadcrumbs on separated plates.
Dredge one pork slice in flour and shake to remove excess.
Dip it into the egg mixture.
Place it on the plate with breadcrumbs and turn it to coat both sides.
Repeat with all pork slices.
Heat a pan with about ½ inch of oil over medium heat.
Fry each milanesa until golden crispy.
Place them on a plate with kitchen towels to remove excess oil.
Make tortas cubanas
Heat a cast-iron skillet or a griddle over medium heat.
Cut the bolillo bread in half lengthwise and remove most of the crumbs.
Butter all sides of the bread and toast it until slightly crispy.
Spread the top piece of bolillo with mayonnaise and mustard.
Spread some refried beans on the bottom slice.
Add on top of the beans a spoonful of chorizo.
Make layers with ham, hot dog sausage, milanesas, and cheese.
Make layers with the lettuce leaves, tomato slices, onions, avocado, and pickled jalapeños.
Now, you can close your torta cubana by just placing the top slice of bread on top and enjoy it right away.
Or you can quickly heat it up in a panini maker or a griddle.
