Carne Asada Sandwiches are a classic Mexican dish that have become popular in the United States. This recipe takes the traditional ingredients of carne asada, red onion, and avocado and adds a spicy twist with the chipotle mayonnaise. The steak is marinated in garlic and lime, which gives it a tangy and flavorful taste. The focaccia bread or buns provide a soft and crispy texture to the sandwich. This dish is perfect for a backyard barbecue or a quick lunch on the go.

Instructions

1.In a medium bowl, mix together the red onion, red wine vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2.In a separate small bowl, mix together the garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, lime juice, and olive oil to create the marinade for the steak.
3.Place the steak in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag and shake to evenly distribute marinade. Refrigerate the steak for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
4.Preheat the grill to high heat. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
5.In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and pureed chipotle chile in adobo.
