A healthier way to make tostadas and better tasting. The simple secret to making crispy tostadas is baking the corn tortillas instead of frying.
Ingredients
Beans
- 2 cups refried beans
Tostada Shells
- 6 corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Garnishes
- 2 cups shredded lettuce, or as desired
- 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 tomato, diced
Simple Beef Mixture
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ pound ground beef
- ½ cup chopped sweet onion, or more to taste
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Mix garlic salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper together in a small bowl.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, and garlic in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Keep warm while preparing tostada shells.
Step 4
Brush oil over both sides of tortillas and arrange on a baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake tortillas in preheated oven until crisped on top, about 5 minutes. Flip tortillas and continue baking until other side crisps, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Step 6
Heat refried beans in a saucepan over medium-low, stirring regularly until hot, about 5 minutes (see Cook's Note).
Step 7
Divide refried beans between tostadas and spread over one side of each; spoon ground beef mixture over the beans. Top each tostada with lettuce, Cheddar cheese, and diced tomato.
Cook’s Notes:
Additional garnishes for tostadas can include salsa, sour cream, guacamole, black olives, and Mexican-blend shredded cheese.
