Note

Using extra-lean ground beef eliminates the draining step of the cooked meat.

I used leftover taco ingredients, only needing to add the black beans. Easy, fun, and delicious.

This recipe was quick and easy to make. Tostadas were tasy and filling! There was enough of the meat mixture for 6 tostadas, we thought.

I used turkey ground meat instead of the beef and it tasted great, its also healthier.

I used greek yogurt in place of the sour cream, fatfree shredded cheddar cheese and authentic Mexican tostadas in place of the flour tortillas. I also added sliced advocado on top...really easy, healthy and tasty.

Baking the tortillas turned out to be a unique texture-I may try to spice them up a bit more, too. I will definitely experiment with this basic recipe some more. Very good!

Mexican night is always a huge hit in our house. This was no exception. not to spicy, will adjust that next time. Flexable recipe that I will add or subtract ingredients according to my pantry. I think a little avacado on top would be delish.
