Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Carne Asada:

    • 1 pound flank or skirt steak
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • Juice of 1 lime
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • ½ teaspoon paprika
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

    For the Tostadas:

    1. 6 tostada shells
    2. 1 cup guacamole
    3. 1 cup pico de gallo (fresh tomato salsa)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Carne Asada:

    • In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
    • Rub the mixture all over the steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

  2. Cook the Steak:

    • Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is achieved.
    • Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly against the grain.

  3. Assemble the Tostadas:

    • Spread a layer of guacamole on each tostada shell.
    • Top with slices of carne asada.
    • Add pico de gallo and any optional toppings like shredded lettuce, sour cream, or cheese.

  4. Serve Immediately:

Notes

  • For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • Use leftover steak for tacos, burritos, or salads.
  • Make the guacamole and pico de gallo ahead of time for quicker assembly.
