Method
- Preheat the broiler to low heat.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine sour cream with lime zest. Stir until smooth and set aside.
- Place diced green bell peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet. Spray with olive or avocado oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Let the broiled peppers cool slightly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooled broiled bell peppers, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, sliced radishes, red cabbage, remaining lime juice, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoon olive or avocado oil. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoon olive or avocado oil. Cook carne asada strips for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked through for thin pieces, or slightly longer for thicker pieces. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and chop into ⅛-inch pieces.
- Arrange flour tortillas on a foil-lined baking sheet. Spray both sides lightly with oil. Broil the first side for about 1 minute, flip carefully, and broil the other side for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Spread the vegetable mixture evenly over the crispy tortillas. Top with chopped carne asada, a sprinkle of cotija cheese, and a dollop of lime crema.
- Arrange the tostadas on a serving platter. Add a lime wedge to each tostada and serve immediately.
