Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 16 ounces refried beans
- 1 cup salsa
- 4 pieces flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 cup chopped lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sliced black olives
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking dish or cake pan with cooking oil.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Step 3
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Cook for another 2 minutes until the beef is well coated and the liquid has evaporated.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the refried beans and salsa until well blended.
Step 5
Place one flour tortilla at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread a third of the refried bean mixture over the tortilla, followed by a third of the seasoned beef, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
Step 6
Repeat layering with two more tortillas, refried beans, beef, and cheese. For the top layer, place the final tortilla, spread the remaining beans, and sprinkle the remaining cheese generously.
Step 7
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the tostada bake cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Top the baked tostada with lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, and dollops of sour cream before serving. Slice into wedges and enjoy!
