BEEF AND BEAN TOSTADAS

DINNER AT HOME

There is no Beef and Bean Tostada in Hawaii that I have had that is better than the ones I make at home.  This Tostada is packed with layers of flavors including Seasoned Ground Beef and Spicy Refried Beans.  Also go low carb with Ala Madre Low Carb Corn Tortillas.

After Taco Tuesday comes Tostada Thursday at Casa de Santos.  We wanted to use up some leftover ingredients from Taco Night so I made Tostadas.  Spicy Refried Beans, Guacamole, Shredded Beef, Lettuce, Cheese, Pico de Gallo and a sprinkle of Cotija Cheese.  These Tostadas were the bomb.  Filled with flavor and satisfying.  I could only finish one.

DINNER AT HOME

I was craving a good Bean Tostada and decided to make them myself rather than going to one of Hawaii's terrible Mexican Restaurants and paying $10 for a tasteless piece of crap.  Grabbed my favorite Rosarita Spicy Jalapeño Refried Beans from Wall Mart and a bag of Guerrero Tostadas from the Supermarket.  I love to use the Guerrero Tostadas because they are pre-cooked which means I don't need to heat up a bunch of oil to cook corn tortillas.  These really save time and clean up time.  I love Rosarita Spicy Jalapeño Refried Beans right out of the can, but I also like to kick them up a notch by sautéing some onion and jalapeño in a little bit of Olive Oil.  Once the onions and jalapeño are cooked, I add the can of beans and heat it all up.  Spread the bean mixture onto the Tostada and then top with fresh lettuce, cheese and Pico De Gallo.  I always put a bunch of hot sauce on the beans before piling up the veggies.  These Tostadas are better than most Hawaii Mexican Restaurants and a fraction of the cost.
