For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the beef steaks for at least 30 minutes before cooking in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and a pinch of chili powder. If you can't find bolillos, you can substitute with ciabatta rolls or any crusty sandwich roll. Adjust the amount of jalapeños to your spice preference. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes before slicing. Feel free to add other toppings, such as grilled onions, refried beans, or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.
