Beef Tostadas are a delicious change up from your regular taco routine. Crunchy and flavorful!

One of my favorite places for tacos is a small Mexican restaurant that is just a couple of blocks from the house I grew up in. It’s been there forever and it’s now becoming a favorite place for my kids too, when we are in the area.

Their tacos are amazing, but, my real love there is their beef tostadas. 😋

Flavorful beef and refried beans, lettuce, chihuahua cheese and sweet tomatoes..all topped on a super crunchy flat shell.

YUM….they are just so good.

Unfortunately, we don’t get down to my old neighborhood too often anymore, so, I like to make tasty delights right at home.

Guys, if you have never tried a tostada, you are missing out! You have the same basic taco meat, but, a little different flavor with the cheese and the additional of the beans as your base. Of course, the shell is also a big difference..tostada shells are flat and I think, much more crunchy than your average taco shell.

Ingredients Needed:

• Ground beef
• Taco seasoning
• Minced onion
• Chicken broth
• Cornstarch
• Refried beans
• Tostada shells
• Lettuce + tomatoes + Chihuahua cheese, for garnish
