    Thai Beef Tostadas

    A few weeks ago, I received a complementary shipment of TortillaLand tortillas. My kids were beyond excited. My son's eyes lit up.  He is much more interested in the score of a baseball game than food but these tortillas are not just any tortillas. They are fresh and according to my ten year old son, make the best cheese quesadillas ever. As a matter of fact, I think he has eaten a cheese tortilla for either lunch or dinner every day since receiving this prized shipment.

    While I love cheese quesadillas just as much as the next person, I want a little spice and variety in my life. I love Mexican food also but wanted to cross the line and go to another culture. So I came up with a Thai marinade for steak, paired it with some fresh Asian slaw and served it on one of these golden flour pillows from heaven.

    The thing I love about these tortillas is that they are not yet cooked but they are so simple to prepare.  It's takes about 30 seconds on each side and you have the freshest tortilla you can imagine.   There was some prep involved in these Thai Beef Tostadas I made but it was well worth it.

    First the beef was marinated:

    Then the Asian slaw was made:

    The red peppers were grilled:

    The steak was grilled:

    The tortillas were cooked:

    Toppings were chopped and this yummy tostada was put together. So good!

      Ponzu sauce is something I've never used, but I must get some and try this dish. It looks colorful, healthy and delicious.
