directions

Step 1

Prepare an outdoor grill for high heat.

Step 2

Whisk the coffee, chili powder, oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a shallow baking dish. Add the skirt steak, turn to coat, set aside at room temperature to marinate for about 20 minutes.

Step 3

While the steak marinates, brush the onion slices lightly with oil and grill, flipping occasionally, until soft and lightly charred, about 15 minutes; set aside. Drain the steak and grill, flipping once until medium-rare on the inside with deep grill marks, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes and then thinly slice against the grain.

Step 4

Top each tostada with a mound of steak, some grilled onions and cilantro leaves. Serve with sliced avocado, Mexican crema, crumbled Cotija cheese, pickled jalapeno, shredded lettuce and/or lime wedges.
