Instructions for making Beef Tostadas:
Prepare the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning according to the package instructions, stirring until the beef is well-coated and the seasoning is evenly distributed. Simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Heat the Refried Beans: In a separate small saucepan, warm the refried beans over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can microwave them in a microwave-safe bowl for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Assemble the Tostadas: Lay out the tostada shells on a large serving platter or individual plates. Spread a thin layer of warm refried beans on each shell. Top with a generous spoonful of seasoned ground beef.
Add the Toppings: Sprinkle shredded lettuce over the beef, followed by diced tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and any optional toppings like onions or black olives. Finish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve: Serve the tostadas immediately, accompanied by salsa or your favorite hot sauce on the side. Enjoy as a quick and delicious meal that’s perfect for any night of the week.
Tips:
For extra flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the finished tostadas.
You can also customize the toppings to suit your taste, such as adding guacamole or jalapenos for a bit of heat.
Serving Suggestion: Pair these beef tostadas with a side of Mexican rice or a light salad for a complete meal.
