Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Tostada shells
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 cups Refried beans
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cups Water
- 3 cups Shredded lettuce
- 2 cups Diced tomatoes
- 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Guacamole
- 0.5 cups Sliced black olives
- 0.25 cups Chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is well coated and the liquid has reduced. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small pot, warm the refried beans over low heat, stirring occasionally until they are smooth and heated through.
Prepare your toppings: shred lettuce, dice tomatoes, slice olives, and chop cilantro.
Lay the tostada shells on a clean surface or baking tray for assembly.
Spread a generous layer of warm refried beans onto each tostada shell as the base layer.
Top the beans with a scoop of the seasoned ground beef mixture.
Sprinkle shredded lettuce over the beef layer, followed by diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, black olives, and chopped cilantro.
Add a dollop of sour cream and guacamole to each tostada for creaminess and flavor.
Serve immediately, either on a platter for communal dining or individually on plates. Enjoy!
