Tostadas

Ingredients:

• 8 corn tortillas
• 1 lb ground beef or chicken
• 1 can of refried beans
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a pan, cook the ground beef or chicken over medium heat until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. In a separate pan, heat the refried beans over medium heat until warm.
3. In a shallow pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the corn tortillas until crispy, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
4. Spread a layer of refried beans on each tostada.
5. Add a layer of the cooked ground beef or chicken on top of the beans.
6. Top with shredded cheese and place in a preheated oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
7. Remove from oven and top with diced avocado, shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, and cilantro.
8. Serve immediately as a delicious and crunchy meal!
