Ingredients

(500 g) Beef Tri-Tip


Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper


pumpkin seeds


olive oil, divided


apple cider vinegar


ripe medium avocado, cut into rough chunks


Salt to taste


corn tostada


shredded iceberg lettuce


large red onion, thinly sliced


grape tomatoes, halved


can (398 mL) refried beans

Directions

Slice the meat into thin strips and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and stir-fry for 5 minutes, until browned but still pink in the centre. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Meanwhile, combine pumpkin seeds, olive oil, cider vinegar, avocado and salt in a food processor or blender container; blend until a pesto-like consistency.
Top each tostada with some lettuce, beef, refried beans, onion and tomato. Finish each with a spoon of the Mexican-style Pesto.
