Ingredients
Steak:
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 lemons, juiced
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 habanero chile, seeded and chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (2-pound) piece skirt steak
Black Beans:
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
Tostadas:
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 4 corn tortillas
- Mango Salsa, recipe follows
- Sour cream, optional
- Grated cheese of your choice, optional
Directions
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.

OMG, great recipe! I made this for my daughter and I and we could not believe the wonderful flavors! We did try to cut out some of the fat by grilling the tortillas instead of frying them, and simply added black beans on top instead of making the mixture with the olive oil. The meat was so tender and full of flavor, and the mango salsa was incredible. We also added a slice or two of avocado on top, and will definitely make this recipe again!!

Fantastic recipe. I of course altered slightly as we have young children whose tummies would not like the spicy peppers, but everyone loved it. I made a lime cilantro rice to serve the steak over instead of the fried tostadas and eliminated the oil in the beans and used chicken stock instead to make it a little healthier. I also hid more veggies in the meal with sweet peppers in the beans and corn in the salsa. My husband said it was the best skirt steak he ever ate, and he is a big steak fan so that was saying a lot. Even our three-year old ate every bit on her plate. It can be a challenge sometimes to make a gluten-free meal everyone will eat and this meal is PERFECT!!!!
