My avocado was no good, so I opted to use prepared guacamole. I used jalapenos, and it was very spicy. Overall, a great EASY recipe! I will definitely file this as a favorite.

I really liked the flavors in this recipe! I used roasted red peppers for the pimientos. I omitted the hard boiled eggs because neither DH or Dad likes egg whites. For the steak, I wasn't really sure what minute steaks were, so I just bought sandwich steaks. In hindsight, I think I would have preferred the texture of a thicker cut of steak butterflied or pounded thin (the sandwich steaks were extremely tough and chewy). Of course, I don't think that it was at all the fault of the recipe, I just think I might have used the wrong cut of meat. Other than using what my DH referred to as "very old cow" lol for this recipe, it was very good. It tasted good enough that DH actually still ate three or four of the steak rolls even though they were so chewy (hence the five stars). I will definitely be trying this one again with a different cut of steak. Very quick and easy to make, too. Thanks for posting!

I am a 53 year old Mexican-American elementary school teacher. I enjoy reading biographies, intresting nonfiction, and also love all types of catchy upbeat music. My favorite cookbook is the "Kitchen Fair" trademark cookware recipe book in Spanish. Being bilingual and bicultural, I've come to appreciate the best of both U.S. and Mexican cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised that many, many zaar members include Mexican food as their first favorite food. I'll try to post, as time permits, some Mexican recipes (and also American) that I consider good.
