Tostadas

"Although tostadas do not typically have meat in them, this recipe does. Ground beef is usually used for tacos, refried beans in tostadas and a mixture of the two for burritos. I leave it up to you how you wish to enjoy your Mexican. Please feel free to take liberties with this recipe in regards to your own tastes."

  1. Mmmm these are good. Thanks!! :)
     
  2. Simple and so delicious! I've made them several times and they are always a hit!
     
  3. It sounds like my favorite except I love mine with black beans instead of refried beans.
     
  4. Served this tonight, and not only was it simple to prepare, it was delicious! Will definitely add this to our Mexican fare. Perfect for a buffet line where everyone custom makes their own with toppings they desire!
     
  5. Delicious! My DD isn't crazy about refried beans, so I spread a layer of that on the Tostadas, then a layer of Ground Beef, then the cheese. This way I could leave the beans off of hers ;) We topped with avocado, chopped tomatoes, fresh cilantro, black olives, sour cream and salsa. Sadly, I had no lettuce, but I imagine it would really go nicely on top. We loved these! The spice mixture was just perfect. Thanks Molly, dinner was wonderful :)
