Those nights that you just don't know what to fix for dinner, try tostadas.
I call these Mexican Pizza, they are that versatile!
Don't they look yummy, when I say they, it is because I have to have two.
You start with crunchy corn tostadas, they are less than 2 dollars and keep forever, just keep the package closed tight ( I use a rubber band).
I had a little chicken breast left over so I sauteed it in chicken stock with a little chili powder and cumin, I love cumin. If you don't cook with it, get some because it can make such a difference in your chili, your enchiladas, and any other Mexican food.
I just heat up a can of refried beans, look they are even fat-free.
Lay your corn tostadas on a plate, love that plate, hubby got it for me.
Spread on the beans, they are kinda like the glue that holds everything else on.
Add cheese, chicken, whatever you want. I like one of each.
Next guacamole, really it is just squished up avocados, salsa, and a little hot sauce.
Next add some lettuce, tomato, and a little sour cream.
I clean up as I prepare this meal and when they are done, I am finished, except to rinse the dishes after we eat. Try these delicious tostadas, they are quick, easy and you can use leftovers from other meals.
Yumm. I use to make tostadas for the kids when I made wet burritos for the adults years and years ago. I had to fry the tortillas first though. Maybe they did not have already prepared ones at the time? Love it that I can go buy some already ready to top. I will have to look for them. We made tacos last night, one of our oldest grandsons favorites. He is growing up I am going to have to fix larger portions so he and grandpa do not have to fight over who gets the last one. giggle
ReplyDeleteMmmm, yummeeeee, they look delish Mrs C and so easy to make and dare I say they look healthy too.
ReplyDeleteShall have to check out the supermarket to see if they stock Tostados in this neck of the woods.
Hope you enjoyed your weekend,

I love tostadas but have not seen the crispy tostados in the grocery store.. I will be looking for them. I love that plate also...your hubby has good taste! hugs Linda
ReplyDeleteI never think of making tostados. I'm going to try to come up with some combo using leftover ham. Thanks for the idea.
