Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large pot, add the shredded beef and cover it with water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1-1.5 hours until the beef is tender. Drain and shred the beef further if needed.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tostadas

    In a separate pot, heat the refried beans until warm. If desired, mash them a bit for a smoother texture.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tostadas

    On each tostada shell, spread a layer of refried beans, followed by a generous portion of shredded beef. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream.

  4. 4

    Add Finishing Touches

    Sprinkle crumbled Cotija cheese and chopped cilantro over each tostada. Drizzle with hot sauce if you like some heat.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the tostadas are crispy and enjoy your Deshebrada Tostada!
