STEAK AND BLACK BEAN CHALUPAS



Steak and Black Bean Chalupas image

Our Chopped Dinner Challenge this week was cube steak. We wanted to achieve a great flavor without overcooking the meat, and so we seared it in a screaming hot pan and made chalupas, crunchy open-faced tacos. Chopped Basket Ingredient: cube steak

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

8 corn tortillas
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt
1 pound cube steak, thinly sliced into 3- to 4-inch strips, 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup beef broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 firm ripe mangoes, peeled, seeded and cut into small dice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons roughly chopped pickled jalapenos, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the tortillas: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lay the tortillas on a baking sheet, brush both sides with the oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes.
  • For the cube steak: Toss the steak strips with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over high heat until lightly smoking. Add half of the strips and cook, tossing until the strips are browned on all sides, but not completely cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a large bowl and repeat with the other half.
  • Remove all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoons of the oregano and cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and stir with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Add the steak strips and any accumulated juice and simmer until thickened slightly, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon oregano, lime zest and lime juice and mix well.
  • For the beans: Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the chili powder. Cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the black beans and toss to combine. Add the broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and bring to boil. Using a masher, smash the black beans, stirring occasionally to incorporate into the broth, until thick. Remove from the heat.
  • For the chili-lime mango: Toss the mangoes with the lime zest, lime juice, chili powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
  • To assemble the chalupas, spread a thin layer of smashed black beans on each crispy corn tortilla and divide the steak among them. Top with some chili-lime mangoes and serve with lime wedges and pickled jalapenos.

SHEET-PAN TOSTADAS WITH BLACK BEANS AND PEPPERS



Sheet-Pan Tostadas With Black Beans and Peppers image

In this vegetarian sheet-pan meal, crisp tortillas are topped with chile-laced black beans, sweet roasted peppers, avocado and plenty of crumbled queso fresco or grated Cheddar. A cumin salt, flecked with lime zest and sprinkled on right at the end, adds both brightness and a musky spice flavor. You will need 3 sheet pans for this. If you have only 2, crisp the tortillas in a skillet on the stovetop instead of in the oven.

Categories     dinner, weekday, tacos, vegetables, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 medium bell peppers, thinly sliced (preferably at least one red and one yellow)
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
4 thyme sprigs
2 (14- to 16-ounce) cans black beans, drained
1 cup canned diced tomatoes with their liquid
1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped, plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
1 lime
Sliced avocado, for serving
Crumbled queso fresco or grated white Cheddar, for serving (optional)
Chopped cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees and arrange racks in the top and bottom thirds of oven. On a rimmed sheet pan, toss together peppers, onion, 1/4 cup oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and sage, then spread vegetables out in an even layer. Top with thyme sprigs, and roast on the top rack until tender and lightly browned, 35 to 45 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes or so.
  • On a separate rimmed sheet pan, toss together beans, tomatoes, 1/4 cup oil, chipotle chile and sauce, garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cumin and salt to taste. Roast on the bottom rack, stirring every 10 minutes, until juices have thickened, 25 to 35 minutes.
  • Brush tortillas on both sides with oil, then arrange in an even layer on a third rimmed baking sheet (it's O.K. if the tortillas overlap slightly). Bake until crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
  • To make the cumin salt, grate the zest from the lime. In a small bowl, stir together lime zest, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cumin. Cut naked lime into wedges.
  • To serve, top tortillas with beans, peppers, avocado, queso fresco (if desired), cilantro and a squeeze of lime from the wedges. Let people sprinkle on lime-cumin salt to taste.

Tips:

  • Use day-old tortillas for tostadas. This will make them crispier and less likely to break when you top them.
  • Brush the tortillas with oil before baking. This will help them crisp up and get golden brown.
  • Bake the tortillas at a high temperature. This will help them crisp up quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If the tortillas are too close together, they won't crisp up properly.
  • Be careful not to overbake the tortillas. They should be golden brown and crispy, but not burnt.
  • Let the tortillas cool completely before topping. This will help them stay crispy.
  • Use your favorite toppings. Black beans and rice are a classic combination, but you can also use other toppings, such as shredded chicken, beef, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Black bean and rice tostadas are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or light meal. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're also a great way to use up leftover black beans and rice. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these tostadas that are sure to please everyone.
