Steak Tostadas
Instructions
- 1
Start by cutting the steak into small cubes. In a bowl, add the oil, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, chilli powder, cayenne, oregano, black pepper, and salt to taste. Mix everything well so the meat is fully coated, then cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Meanwhile, prepare the queso. In a pot, melt the butter, then add the flour and cook it well, stirring continuously. You want to fully cook the flour so there is no raw taste. Gradually add the milk, stirring as you go, until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Add the cheese and pickled green chilies, mix well, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set it aside.

To cook the meat, heat olive oil in a pan. Once hot, add the steak and cook until it is nicely browned. Lower the heat, cover, and let it cook slowly until the meat becomes tender with slightly crispy edges.

For the beans, cook them in a pan until heated through, then mash them until smooth. Add a little olive oil for richness, or you can use ready-made beans from a can for convenience. To prepare the avocado, mash it in a bowl, then add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

To serve, take the crispy tostada shells and spread a layer of beans or avocado, depending on your preference. Top with the cooked steak, then add fresh chopped onion, tomato, and cilantro for garnish. Finish with a drizzle of the queso sauce and serve immediately while everything is fresh and crisp.
