Instructions
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the flank or skirt steak, ensuring it is fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  • Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the marinated steak from the bowl, shaking off excess marinade. Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes per side until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set it aside for a few minutes.
  • Place the crunchy tostada shells on a serving platter. Layer the sliced carne asada over each tostada, top with shredded lettuce, avocado slices, pico de gallo, and sprinkle with diced red onion and cilantro.
  • Arrange lime wedges on the side for a zesty squeeze that brightens up each bite. Serve the tostadas immediately.

Notes
