Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 50 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Gluten-free sandwich buns
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise (gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Pickled jalapeños (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, parsley, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1.5 cm (half an inch) thick.

Step 3

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are browned on the outside and fully cooked inside (internal temperature should reach at least 71°C or 160°F).

Step 4

While the patties are cooking, prepare the gluten-free sandwich buns by toasting them lightly on a separate pan or toaster, if desired.

Step 5

Assemble each torta by spreading 1 tablespoon of gluten-free mayonnaise on the bottom half of the bun. Layer with lettuce, a cooked beef patty, sliced avocado, tomato, and optional pickled jalapeños. Place the top half of the bun on the assembled layers.

Step 6

Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Tortas de Carne!
