Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1/2 cup green chili enchilada sauce
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 16 oz can refried beans
  • 4 - 6 tostada shells store bought or homemade
  • Optional garnishes: shredded lettuce, salsa, avocado shells, Mexican cheese, Mexican crema, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the onion. Cook until the beef is cooked through and the onions have softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  • Add in the chili enchilada sauce, lime juice, taco seasoning, salt, and cayenne pepper. Cook the beef in the chili enchilada sauce for 2-3 additional minutes or until the sauce has thickened, then remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Use a small microwavable bowl to heat the refried beans. Make sure to put a paper towel over the top so it doesn’t explode and get all over the microwave.
  • Take a spoonful of the refried beans and spread them over each tostada. Layer the tostada with the ground beef next, then your choice of garnishes: a handful of lettuce, some chopped tomatoes, chopped avocados, a spoonful of salsa, a handful of Mexican cheese, and/or a drizzle of Mexican crema. Top with chopped cilantro and then plate and serve.
