Ingredients:

1 lb beef flank steak or skirt steak
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook the steak in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes per side until desired doneness. Remove from heat, let it rest, then slice thinly against the grain.
Warm the tostada shells in the oven for 5 minutes or until crisp.
Spread a thin layer of refried beans over each tostada shell.
Layer on the shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, and sliced carne asada.
Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa if desired.
