Shredded Beef Torta with Pepper Jack and Guacamole.

We love tortas. This version uses heaps of slow-cooked Mexican shredded beef, black bean spread, pickled red onions, chunky guacamole, lettuce, pepper jack and garlic aioli on a toasted bun. We make our own black beans, but you can certainly use a canned version.
