Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Corn tortillas
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Guacamole
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry each tortilla one at a time until crispy and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
In another skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is fully incorporated. Remove from heat.
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until heated through.
Assemble the tostadas by spreading a layer of refried beans on each crispy tortilla.
Top the beans with seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Add dollops of sour cream and guacamole on top, then sprinkle with sliced black olives and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tostadas.
