Crispy Beef Tostadas

"These are delicious and so easy to make! They remind me of Navajo Tacos that my mom made when I was growing up. The texture of the tostada is so thick and delicous- very filling. We love all the recommended toppings listed. We usually don't have all on hand. I've also substituted leftover shredded beef for the ground beef and they were delicious too! I make these a couple times a month. Enjoy!"

  1. LOVED this!! The beans and meat melded so well together. My toppings were lettuce, tomato, olives, green onions and green sauce. It was so good, 5 stars!

My all time favorite thing to do is cook and bake. My love for cooking began my first year at college. It has grown into an obsession with recipes. Fortunately, my husband is supportive :) I love the Taste of Home magazines. Most of the recipes I try from their publications are outstanding. I also enjoy running long distances and exercising.
