Steak and Refried Bean Toastadas

1. Bake Tostadas Turn oven on to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place tortillas in a single layer on baking sheet and brush with olive oil on both sides and season to taste with salt. Bake for 12–15 minutes until crisp and golden. Monitor to prevent burning tostadas.

2. Prepare Steak Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Drain and pat dry steaks with paper towel. Season steaks with half of the spice blend and salt and pepper. Once hot, add steaks and cook for 1–2 minutes per side or until steaks reach an internal temperature of 135°F. Transfer steaks to a plate, leaving oils in the skillet, and let rest for 5 minutes to an internal temperature of 145°F.

3. Prepare Refried Beans In the same skillet heat 1 tbsp. olive oil over medium. Drain and rinse black beans in a sieve. Thinly slice the shallot. Add half of the shallot, and remaining spice blend and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add beans, chipotle in adobo to taste, 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook on a low boil for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally until most liquid evaporates and beans are soft. Mash beans with a potato masher until desired consistency.

4. Prepare Ingrendients Meanwhile, dice pepper into 1/4 inch pieces. Pick and finely chop cilantro leaves.

5. Make Bell Pepper Salsa In a medium bowl, combine 1 tbsp. olive oil, bell pepper, cilantro, and remaining shallot. Season with the following to taste: lime juice and salt and pepper.

6. Assemble and Serve Cut diagonally against the grain each of steak into 8–12 slices. Spread refried beans onto tostadas. Divide steak slices evenly between tostadas. Top tostadas with bell pepper salsa, paprika mayo and any remaining lime juice. Top with crumbled cotija cheese. Enjoy!
