Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 1 can (16 oz) Refried beans
- 1 cup Salsa
- 6 medium (6-inch) Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 Green onions, sliced
- 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 as needed Oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with oil spray.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. Set aside.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat the refried beans until warm and spreadable. Stir in the salsa to combine.
Layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 2 flour tortillas, slightly overlapping them if needed to cover the base.
Spread 1/3 of the bean mixture over the tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the seasoned ground beef. Sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded cheese on top.
Repeat this process two more times, creating three total layers of tortillas, beans, beef, and cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and slightly golden.
Allow the tostada bake to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream on each serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
