TOSTADAS
Method
TOSTADAS
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 4–5 minutes.
- 2
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no pink remains, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- 3
Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes until spices are fragrant. Season with salt to taste.
- 4
Pour in the tomato sauce and simmer the beef mixture for 5–7 minutes to meld flavors. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
- 5
While the beef simmers, crisp the tostada shells: preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake shells in a single layer on a baking sheet for 5–7 minutes, until crisp.
- 6
Prepare toppings: rinse and shred lettuce, shred cheddar cheese, and prepare pico de gallo if making from fresh tomatoes. Slice avocado if using.
- 7
Assemble: Place a spoonful of red beef on each crisp tostada shell. Top with shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, a dollop of sour cream, and optional avocado slices. Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
