The Prudent Wife

Tostadas are the ultimate comfort food! Top crunchy, baked corn tortillas with refried beans, shredded beef, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, salsa and your favorites! Another great “Emergency Meals and 15 Minute Dinners!” that is perfect for those wild evenings when you have to get out the door fast…or if you are like us and missing Southern California! Comfort food heaven!

Corn tortillas

Tomatoes, chopped (chop dill pickles too!)

Shredded cabbage or lettuce

Shredded cheese

Refried beans and salsa

Shredded beef (optional)

Bake corn tortillas in preheated 350 oven for 8-15 minutes until crunchy and light golden brown.  If you overcook the tortillas, crumble them for Tortilla Soup OR make Tostado Salads!  While the corn tortillas are baking, chop tomatoes, shred cabbage and cheese and put in bowls on the table for a tostado buffet.  Heat beans and shredded beef in the microwave.

To make: Take a tostado shell, smear refried JBs on it, and top with cabbage, cheese, tomatoes, and then salsa…or top them any way you want.  Enjoy…they tend to drip down your arms as you eat…so watch out!
