Flank Steak Tostadas Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a bowl, combine the marinade ingredients: lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
• STEP 2.Place the flank steak in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
• STEP 3.Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
• STEP 4.Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
• STEP 5.While the steak is resting, heat the corn tortillas on the grill or stovetop until they are crispy and slightly charred.
• STEP 6.Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Assemble the tostadas by placing a tortilla on a plate, topping it with the sliced steak, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
• STEP 7.Serve the flank steak tostadas immediately and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add a tablespoon of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the marinade.
• Make sure to let the steak rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute and keep the meat tender.
• Feel free to customize your toppings by adding shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, or pickled jalapenos.

Storage and Serving

• Flank steak tostadas are best served immediately while the tortillas are still crispy.
• If you have leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• Reheat the tortillas in a hot oven or on a stovetop griddle before assembling the tostadas again.
