Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare Guacamole: Halve avocados and scoop into a mixing bowl. Add cilantro, jalapeño, red onion, lime juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mash until creamy but slightly chunky. Cover and refrigerate.
  2. Make Chipotle Cream: Blend crema with chipotle peppers and lime juice until smooth. Let sit to meld flavors.
  3. Grill Ribeye Steak: Preheat grill to medium-high. Season steak with salt and pepper. Grill for 10-12 minutes until medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes and slice.
  4. Grill Shrimp: Skewer shrimp, toss in olive oil and Cajun seasoning. Grill for 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Cool slightly.
  5. Assemble Tostadas: Spread guacamole on tostada shells. Top with sliced steak and shrimp. Drizzle with chipotle cream and garnish with cilantro.

Notes

Ensure shrimp are grilled just right to avoid rubbery texture. Rest steak for enhanced flavor retention. Customize chipotle cream to your heat preference. Fresh ingredients elevate the guacamole's flavor. Store toppings separately to maintain tostada crunch.
