Tostadas are a lot of fun to make. Kids love to assemble their own so go ahead and place all the toppings in bowls and let them have a ball! Here is what you are going to need for these:
• Get 2 tostadas for every person. If you don’t have store bought deep fry 2 corn tortillas per person. They will fry very quickly so be careful not to burn them. Drain them well on paper towels.
• Season 1 pound of ground beef with salt & pepper. Brown and drain.
• Wipe the skillet and add some olive oil. Heat. Add a small chopped yellow onion. Cook for 8 minutes until lightly browned. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and mix well. Add 1 small chopped tomato. Return the beef. Mix well. Add 1 TBS ground cumin, 1 TBS oregano and 1 TBS chopped cilantro. Season with salt & pepper. Add ¼ cup water. Mix well. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat a 30 0z. can of refried beans.
• Smear the tostadas with some beans. Top with the beef. Top with salsa.
• Top with finely chopped iceberg lettuce and chopped tomatoes.
• Top with shredded Mexican cheese blend.
• Top with some diced avocado. You will need 1 avocado per every four people.
• Spoon a doll up of sour cream and garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
• Enjoy!
