    Crispy tostadas topped with seasoned ground beef, beans, lettuce and avocado

    Ground beef tostadas are the crunchy, open-faced Tex-Mex classic — crisp fried corn tortillas piled with seasoned beef, refried beans, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. They’re the perfect make-your-own dinner.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Brown the beef in a skillet, about 6 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning and water and simmer 5 minutes.
    2. Spread each tostada shell with warm refried beans.
    3. Pile the seasoned beef over the beans.
    4. Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
    5. Serve immediately with salsa and hot sauce.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Build the tostadas right before serving so the shells stay crunchy. Spread the beans first — they glue the toppings to the shell.
