Ingredients:
- 1 lb flank steak or skirt steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tostada shells (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup refried beans (optional)
- 1/4 cup sour cream or crema (optional)
- 1–2 teaspoons Mad Dog 357 Gold Edition Hot Sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup fresh pico de gallo or salsa
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Steak: Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steak.
-
Cook the Steak: Grill the steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing the steak thinly against the grain.
-
Prepare the Tostadas: While the steak is resting, prepare the tostada shells. If using store-bought shells, they’re ready to go. If making homemade tostadas, heat some oil in a skillet and fry corn tortillas until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
-
Add Refried Beans (Optional): If you like, spread a thin layer of refried beans on each tostada shell. This adds extra flavor and texture but is optional if you prefer a simpler version.
-
Assemble the Tostadas: Place shredded cheese evenly on each tostada shell. If you’re using refried beans, layer the cheese on top. Broil the tostadas in the oven for 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Be careful not to burn the shells!
-
Top with Steak and Sauce: Add the thinly sliced steak on top of the melted cheese. Drizzle each tostada with Mad Dog 357 Gold Edition Hot Sauce—start with 1 teaspoon and add more if you can handle the heat. This sauce is extremely hot, so adjust based on your spice preference.
-
Garnish and Serve: Finish your tostadas with fresh pico de gallo or salsa, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of sour cream or crema to cool down the heat. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.

You can customize these tostadas by adding other toppings like guacamole, pickled jalapeños, or shredded lettuce for extra crunch. And if you’re feeling brave, set out the bottle of Mad Dog 357 Gold Edition Hot Sauce for guests to add more heat!
