Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes and then thinly slice against the grain.

Steps:
- 1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread out the nuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven until lightly browned and very fragrant, 7 or 8 minutes (the pine nuts will brown quicker than either of the others). Remove and slide them off into a medium-size bowl.
- 2. Add the cheeses to the bowl and combine thoroughly with the nuts. Scoop it in the center of a baking dish (I like to use a decorative 9-inch pie pan) and form it into a 5-inch-diameter disk. Spoon the salsa over and around the cheese. Place the dish in the oven and bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle on the cilantro and set it out for your guests to enjoy as a dip or a spread.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and cook until just golden. Stir in chopped cilantro and cumin, then beans with liquid, chipotle, and 1/2 cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Preheat broiler. Place 4 tortillas on a rimmed baking sheet brushed with oil. Divide cheese among them, piled in centers, and top with remaining tortillas. Brush tops with oil. Broil, rotating sheet once, until tops are crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Flip and broil until second sides are crisp, 2 to 3 minutes more. Smash beans with the back of a spoon and spread mixture over tostadas. Top with lettuce, radishes, salsa, and cilantro leaves; serve.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the salsa.
- If you don't have goat cheese, you can substitute feta or cream cheese.
- You can use any type of bread you like for the tostadas, but corn tortillas are a classic choice.
- Be sure to toast the tortillas before assembling the tostadas. This will help them to be crispy.
- If you are short on time, you can use store-bought salsa.
