I dedicate these slow-simmered tostadas to my husband, the only Italian man I know who can’t get enough of Mexican flavors. Pile on your best toppings. —Teresa DeVono, Red Lion, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup lime juice
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 serrano pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 beef top round steak (about 1-1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
12 corn tortillas (6 inches)
Cooking spray
TOPPINGS:
1-1/2 cups shredded lettuce
1 medium tomato, finely chopped
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream, optional

Directions

Place the first 7 ingredients in a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker. Cut steak in half and sprinkle with salt and pepper; add to slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender, 6-8 hours.
Remove meat; cool slightly. Shred meat with 2 forks. Return beef to slow cooker and stir in cilantro; heat through. Spritz both sides of tortillas with cooking spray. Place in a single layer on baking sheets; broil 1-2 minutes on each side or until crisp. Spoon beef mixture over tortillas; top with lettuce, tomato, cheese and, if desired, sour cream.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
