We study the phenomenon of internal avalanching within the context of recently proposed "Tetris" lattice models for granular media. We define a recycling dynamics under which the system reaches a steady state which is self-structured, i.e., it shows a complex interplay between textured internal structures and critical avalanche behavior. Furthermore, we develop a general mean-field theory for this class of systems and discuss possible scenarios for the breakdown of universality.
