Steps:
- Prepare an outdoor grill for high heat.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Steps:
- For the steak: In a large shallow bowl or baking dish whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, onion, habanero, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the skirt steak, cover and refrigerate. Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably several hours.
- For the beans: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine all ingredients and let simmer for 20 minutes.
- For the tostadas: Heat about 3 inches of oil in a large pot to about 350 degrees F. Carefully slide 1 tortilla into the oil and fry until crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Preheat a grill pan or grill to medium-high. Remove the skirt steak from the bowl or baking dish and discard the marinade. Place the steak on the grill and grill about 4 to 6 minutes for medium-rare to medium. Remove from grill to a cutting board and let rest for about 5 minutes. Slice into thin pieces at a diagonal.
- To serve: Place fried tortillas on a large platter or individual plates. Spoon some of the black bean mixture in the middle of the tortillas. Top with steak slices and the Mango Salsa. Garnish with sour cream and your choice of grated cheese, if desired.
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients and set aside for 10 to 20 minutes for the flavors to marry.

Tips:

- Cook the steak properly: The steak should be cooked to your desired doneness. If you like it rare, cook it for a shorter amount of time. If you like it well-done, cook it for a longer amount of time.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the tostadas will be. Use fresh cilantro, sour cream, and salsa.
- Don't overload the tostadas: The tostadas should be topped with a moderate amount of ingredients. Don't overload them, or they will become soggy.
- Serve the tostadas immediately: The tostadas are best served immediately after they are made. This will prevent them from becoming soggy.
