Ingredients for Beef Tostadas (Serves 4)
- 1 lb Mt. Folly Ground Beef
- 1 package Tostada Shells
- 1 can Refried Beans
- 10 oz Queso Panela Cheese, crumbled
- 1 Red Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
- 2 tsp Salt (divided: 1 ½ tsp for beef, ½ tsp for beans)
- 1 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
- Sour Cream (to taste)
- Your favorite hot sauce
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a medium pan, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the Mt. Folly ground beef, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
- Spice it Up: Just before the beef turns completely brown, add the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, black pepper, and 1 ½ tsp of salt to the pan. Continue cooking until the beef is perfectly browned and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- Warm the Beans: In a separate pot, heat the refried beans, adding the remaining ½ tsp of salt. Stir constantly until heated completely through, then remove from heat.
- Assemble and Serve: Build your tostadas by starting with a crispy shell. Spread a warm layer of beans, follow with a hearty layer of seasoned ground beef, and sprinkle with crumbled Queso Panela. Top with sliced red onions, jalapeños, a dollop of sour cream, and a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
