What are Tostadas?

Tostada” is Spanish for “toasted” and is the name of a Mexican dish that is served on a toasted or deep fried corn tortilla. The name usually refers to a flat or bowl-shaped tortilla that is deep-fried or toasted, but may also refer to any dish using a tostada as a base.

What ingredients do I need to make these Quick and Easy Tostadas?

• Lean ground beef-I use 96% Laura’s Lean Ground Beef. You could also use ground turkey, ground chicken, grilled chicken, or omit the beef altogether for a vegetarian option.
• Taco seasoning-for the ground beef or turkey.
• Fat free refried beans-canned. I recommend warming them up in microwave so they are easy to spread onto the tostada.
• Reduced fat cheddar cheese– shredded.
• Corn Tostadas- you can find these at most grocery stores near the taco shells.
• Roma tomatoes- finely diced, for garnish. You could swap the tomatoes for your favorite salsa. 
• Non fat sour cream or non fat plain Greek yogurt-for garnish 
• Cilantro- chopped for garnish
