How to Make Red Pepper Steak Tostadas

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ranch dressing and 1/4 cup salsa. Cover and refrigerate.
  3. Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. Arrange 6 corn or flour tostada shells on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  5. While the tostadas bake, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add 1 pound of thinly sliced steak strips to the skillet and cook until well browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Add 1 large bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced, to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the peppers are softened and the steak begins to char slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Evenly distribute 2 cups of shredded lettuce among the toasted tostadas.
  9. Top each tostada with the steak and pepper mixture.
  10. Drizzle the chilled ranch-salsa dressing over the tostadas.
  11. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) and serve immediately.
