Tostadas

tostadas3

Tostadas are one of my go to quick and easy when I am tired or we are having a busy day. The great thing about them is they are customizable . Pretty much anything you’d like on a taco would be great on a tostada. This is another post that is more method than recipe but I will share how I made them last night.

Tostadas

Ingredients:

  • Tostada shells or corn tortillas. I recommend getting the already fried shells at the grocery store because they are a lot quicker and to me have a better flavor.
  • Refried beans. I used about two cups of the homemade beans. .
  • Toppings: shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, hot sauce, salsa, meat-ground beef, shredded beef/chicken, sour cream, avocado, guacamole.

Directions:

Heat refried and warm tostada shells if desired. Spread a layer of beans on shell and add desired toppings. The ones pictured above had beans, hot sauce, cheddar cheese, lettuce, onions, taco sauce, and sour cream in that order.
