Are Friends Coming Over??.... Two Words... Beef Tostadas!!!!

It's the weekend and it's summer time... finally lol,

I always gravitate towards Latin and Caribbean food during the summer months.  Not just because of the vibrant colours, but also because of the flavour combinations.  So here is a quick dish to serve if you are having friends over this weekend...  AND it's easy on the pocket!

Serves 4-6 peeps

12 tortillas
1 lb of chopped chuck steak (it's cheap with lots of flavour!)
4 limes (juiced)
1 medium sized onion
1 red pepper (diced)
1 jalapeno finely chopped (use gloves or avoid touching the ribs and seeds... ouch)
3 Tbl of chopped cilantro (or parsley for those that don't like cilantro)
3 Tsp of black olives

Spread out the tortillas to dry.  In a bowl, mix up the steak with the lime juice and refrigerate for at least 2hrs (or overnight is best if you feel like that is your thing lol).  Drain when times up and mix in remaining ingredients.  Toast or Fry (thumbs up for frying!) until golden and crispy.  In a medium pan, saute up the beef and stir occasionally for about 8 mins or so.  Serve Beef on top of that Crisp tortillas and you're ready to go...

If you wanna go the extra mile, I suggest you serve this with some Tomatoes, Shredded Green Cabbage, Olives, Cheese and/or Tabasco... YA BABY!!!! 


Cheers
