A delightful twist on the classic tostada, featuring crispy tortillas topped with seasoned beef, beans, and fresh toppings.
Cook the ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
Use a wooden spoon to break up the beef for even cooking.
Stir in chili powder and salt into the beef mixture. Set aside.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Drain and set aside.
Mash the beans slightly for a creamier texture.
Fry the tortillas in hot oil until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to prevent soggy tortillas.
Assemble the tostadas by layering beef, beans, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, and grated cheese on each tortilla.
Serve immediately to maintain the crispiness of the tortillas.
Top with a dollop of sour cream and serve.
Garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor.
