Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Once the beef is browned (about 5-7 minutes), drain excess fat if necessary. Add taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully seasoned.

  3. 3

    Prepare Tostada Shells

    While the beef is cooking, prepare the tostada shells according to the package instructions. If using homemade, bake or fry them until crisp.

  4. 4

    Spread Refried Beans

    On each tostada shell, spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans evenly.

  5. 5

    Add Beef Mixture

    Top the beans with a generous portion of the seasoned ground beef, approximately 1/4 cup per tostada.

  6. 6

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and shredded cheese on top of the beef. Add a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa on each tostada.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Arrange the tostadas on a serving platter and serve immediately while crispy. Enjoy your delicious beef tostadas!
