Time 2h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 (2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh garlic
1 cup beef stock
1 ½ cups chopped tomatoes, divided
1 medium orange, juiced
½ medium lime, juiced
6 each crispy tostada shells
2 cups refried beans, warmed
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons salsa, or to taste
3 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste
3 tablespoons guacamole, or to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
6 wedges lime

Steps:

  • Prepare spice rub: Combine chili powder, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Rub 1 tablespoon of the spice rub on each side of the chuck roast. Set remaining spice rub aside for later.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place seasoned roast in the hot oil and brown for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
  • Cook onions in the same skillet, stirring frequently, until they begin to turn clear, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in beef stock, 1/2 cup chopped tomato, orange juice, lime juice, and remaining spice rub.
  • Return the roast back to the skillet and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer gently until meat is tender and cooked through, about 2 hours. Remove meat from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board.
  • Carefully pour the skillet contents into a blender or food processor. Pulse several times, until sauce is smooth.
  • Remove the visible fat from the meat and discard. Shred the meat with two forks. Place shredded beef back into the skillet with about 3/4 cup of the pureed tomato sauce. Add more, if desired, to adjust the consistency. Refrigerate any unused tomato sauce in a sealed container for another use, if desired.
  • To assemble tostadas, spread about 1/3 cup refried beans on each tostada shell. Top with layers of shredded beef mixture, lettuce, Cheddar cheese, and reserved chopped tomatoes. Drizzle with salsa and add a dollop of sour cream and guacamole. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
