Step 1
Slice the 4 rolls in half horizontally. Spread the cut sides with the 1/4 cup mayonnaise and set aside.
Step 2
Season the 1 lb pork shoulder with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high and cook the pork until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
Step 3
Toast the rolls cut-side down in the same skillet over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Mash the 1 avocado with a fork and spread it on the bottom halves of the rolls.
Step 5
Layer the sliced pork, 1 sliced tomato, and 2 cups lettuce on the bottom halves. Close with the top halves and press gently.
Step 6
If desired, tie each torta with kitchen twine to hold it together. Serve immediately.
