Servings: 10 tostadas
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef 97% lean
- 1 (1-oz) packet of taco seasoning mix
- 2/3 cups water
- 10 tostada shells
- 10 ounces refried beans warmed
- 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
- Toppings: Salsa, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown it, breaking it apart as it cooks, until it’s no longer pink. Add the taco seasoning and water. Adjust the heat to medium and stir the beef until the liquid thickens.
- Lay the tostada shells in a single layer on the sheet pan. Spread a generous tablespoon of warm beans on each shell. Spoon a few tablespoons of the taco meat on top. Divide the cheese evenly among them.
- Bake the tostadas for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tostada shells are warmed.
- Garnish each tostada with salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro.
Notes
I use about one cup each of the salsa and lettuce, half a cup of diced tomatoes, and a couple of tablespoons of chopped cilantro for the garnishes. You can also add sour cream, guacamole, diced avocado, or other taco toppings you like.
