Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or chicken until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Add your choice of seasoning (such as taco seasoning, cumin, salt, and pepper) to the cooked meat. Mix well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Tostadas

    While the meat is cooking, prepare your tostada shells according to package instructions, usually by baking or frying until crispy.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tostadas

    Spread a layer of refried beans on each tostada shell, then add a generous portion of the seasoned meat on top.

  5. 5

    Add Fresh Toppings

    Top the meat with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese.

  6. 6

    Finish with Toppings

    Add a dollop of guacamole and sour cream on top of each tostada.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the tostadas are crispy.
