Fill them with sweet and spicy orange chipotle flank steak, peppers and onions, then cool it all down with lime crema and salty Cotija cheese. You can't go wrong with these amazing tostadas!

    Here’s another incredible 30 minute or less meal that makes mom (or dad) the weeknight mealtime hero. Roasting shallots in a hot oven for 15 minutes enhances their natural sweetness, while squeezing lemon at the very end brightens the dish and deepens the flavor of the creamy pesto.

    This is a super simple recipe that you can make three ways to suit your schedule- two are 30 minutes and under, and one is a “dump and go” crock pot meal. No matter which method you choose, this easy recipe packs a punch in the flavor department, and hides several servings of nutrient-packed veggies in a rich, creamy broth.
