The carrot is the unexpected ingredient in these full-flavored steak tostadas. Spiced carrots are cooked in the air fryer until tender, along with the steak until it’s medium rare. More carrot is shredded and made into a refreshing slaw with crunchy kohlrabi. Simply spread warm refried beans on tostada shells, then top with sliced steak, roasted carrots and the carrot slaw. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime.

Directions
Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 400 degrees F. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon adobo seasoning. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Rub the steaks with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning; season lightly with salt and pepper.
Put the sliced carrots in the air fryer and top with the steaks. Cook until the steaks are browned, 5 to 7 minutes, then flip and cook 5 to 7 more minutes for medium-rare, depending on the thickness. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board, tent with foil and set aside to rest. Continue cooking the carrots until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the carrots to a medium bowl; set aside.
Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, whisk together the pickled jalapeño brine and agave. Add the pickled jalapeños, kohlrabi, shredded carrots and cilantro and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread the refried beans on the tostada shells. Thinly slice the steaks and divide among the tostadas along with the air-fried carrots. Top with the kohlrabi slaw. Serve with lime wedges.
