start by making the salsa fresca; combine all salsa ingredients & chill for an hour.

turn oven on 250 for toasting.

heat beans on med-low until hot.

in a large skillet or on a bbq cook steaks until light brown on the outside & still slightly pink in the middle -- carne asada should not be dark brown & charred.

once done let sit for 5 minutes.

while the meat is resting slice bolillos in half & toast for 4 minutes.
8
cut carne asada into small pieces or strips.
9
