Tostadas!

Before tonight, I had never made flank steak in the slow cooker. I was afraid it would come out tough and stringy, but it was the complete opposite — vey tender! Best of all, flank steak is a much leaner cut of meat than the usual slow-cooker standard, chuck. I'm a convert!

After cooking the meat in the slow cooker, I shredded it and simmered it with a little tomato sauce, cooking liquid, garlic, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne, cumin, coriander, brown sugar, and cider vinegar (per this this recipe) to make it a bit saucy and really add some pizzazz.

The theme of tonight's meal was "Choose Your Own Adventure" — a variety of bases and toppings available (cough::cleaning out the fridge and pantry::cough), everyone makes whatever they want.

I made tostadas, and they were quite filling. Pictured is one serving/two tostadas. Points (old WW): 2 tostada shells = 2, 3 oz flank steak = 3, .5 oz RF cheese = 1, 2 teaspoons RF sour cream = 0, salad = 0, tomato = 0. Quite a bargain for just 6 Points! (The Points do jump a bit if you increase the servings.)
