Steps

1Combine and stir together all marinade ingredients. Transfer meat into a large plastic bag or container and pour marinade over the top. Marinate for at least 4 hours, up to about 24, flipping the meat once halfway through.
2Adjust top rack of your oven to about 4 inches below the broiler. Heat broiler on high. Place meat on a foil-lined heavy-duty baking sheet or broiling pan. Place onion rounds on the tray around the meat wherever they will fit.
3Broil 4 to 6 minutes per side, flipping both the meat and the onions. Pull at 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium. If onions have not yet reached your desired level of doneness, you can transfer the meat to a cutting board and return onions to the oven.
4Once onions are done, slice the rounds in half, separate the slices, and toss them in the pan juices. Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes before slicing across the grain into strips.
5While your meat and onions cook, combine all aioli ingredients in a small bowl and stir together.
6Spread a very thin layer of mayonnaise over the cut sides of each roll and place rolls on a baking sheet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes until warmed and lightly toasted. DO NOT at any point walk away from the bread under the broiler. It can burn very, very quickly.
7Spread chipotle aioli over the toasted rolls and top with sliced carne asada, tomato, onions, and avocado. Serve and enjoy!
