Beef Tostada Recipe
Ah, the humble tostada. With its crispy shell and layers of delightful fillings. This particular Beef Tostada recipe is a celebration of textures and flavors, showcasing the freshness of organic ingredients and the richness of classic Mexican spices. From the crunch of the corn or quinoa tortilla to the creaminess of avocados and sour cream, to the special dressing that ties all the flavors together. Each bite is a fiesta on its own. Whether you’re new to the world of tostadas or a seasoned pro, this recipe guarantees a culinary journey that is nothing short of extraordinary. Prepare to be amazed, as this is not just any Beef Tostada - it's the ultimate flavor-packed experience. So, roll up those sleeves, gather your ingredients, and let's get cooking!
Ingredients:
4 corn tortillas or Quinoa tortillas
Avocado oil, enough to fill a medium frying pan about ½ inch deep
1 large tomato, cut into bite-size chunks
½ lb. cheddar cheese, grated
1 head of organic romaine lettuce, rinsed, drained and chopped
2 medium avocados, sliced, drizzled with lime juice and sprinkled with salt
¾ cup sour cream in a squeeze bottle
1 jar tomatillo sauce
1 can of Siete refried black beans
1 lime
Making Tostada Shells
Fill a medium frying pan with enough avocado oil ½ inch deep. Heat this over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350 degrees F. To test, place the tip of the tortilla into the oil and if it really bubbles up then the oil is hot enough. Lay the tortilla in the oil and use tongs to turn it over every 5 seconds until it stops bubbling. That’s how you know it’s done. Remove the tortillas with tongs and let the oil drain off and place it on a paper towel covered plate to cool.
Dressing:
½ cup olive oil, can substitute avocado oil
½ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp. Salt
½ tsp or more of garlic powder
¼ tsp. Ground pepper
Directions:
Place all the above ingredients into a blender and mix until creamy smooth. Pour into a small mason jar.
Ground Beef Mixture
Ingredients:
1 lb organic ground beef
½ large yellow onion, diced
1 tsp. Paprika
1 tsp. Ancho chile powder
1 tsp. Garlic powder
¾ tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Dried oregano
1 can (14oz) diced fire roasted tomatoes
1 cup of whole corn
¼ cup water
Directions:
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and continue to cook until the ground beef is done and no longer pink. If you have excess fat in the pan you can drain it off. I didn’t so I continued to add the spices and the tomato, corn and the water. Stir and simmer for 10 minutes.
Place the beans into a saucepan over medium heat. Add about 1 tbsp. of lime juice and stir periodically until the beans are hot. That’s it for this brand.
Now we are ready to assemble. Place a layer of beans on your desired tostada shell. I like the quinoa tortilla best. Then layer in some of that beef mixture followed by a sprinkle of cheese.
Add a handful of lettuce on top and then several spoonfuls of the special dressing. Follow that with a few spoonfuls of tomatillo sauce.
Next comes a drizzle of sour cream and a few slices of avocado. Add some tomato chunks, another sprinkle of cheese and a drizzle of, you guessed it, more dressing. It really ties everything together! Eat immediately, it’s so good!
Thanks for watching and sharing!

Merry Christmas Susan!
I'm serious, if I had to pick a last meal on Earth I truly think it would be this. You have done it again!! Now I just need to find me a non-gmo tortilla near me and I'm ready to get cracking.
Hi Kristen, I’m right there with you on the last meal! I’m sure you will be able to find non gmo tortillas!
I can’t wait to try this next time taco time in my house! Your salad dressing looks so delicious I could almost taste it! And the tortilla shells look amazing!
Well, I must say, my salad dressing and tortilla shells do have a reputation. Get ready for a flavor explosion in your kitchen!
Looks delicious! I'll see if I can find those refried beans in my area. Thanks Robin!
Hi Rus, thanks for stoppin by! You can always make some of my homemade refried beans if you can't find them and they will be better than anything in a can. It's just sometimes you don't have the time to cook em! ua-cam.com/video/X382ZAKp0jk/v-deo.htmlsi=BhiTlYtUcFFLZMJ1 I just finished watching your video on a tribute to Jimmy Buffet which I thoroughly enjoyed! I've always enjoyed his music and sailing.
Thanks Robin, I also love those quinoa tortillas from Trader Joe and have made a similar recipe, so good. ❤️
Thanks for stopping in! I appreciate the comment!
What a beautiful tostada recipe, Robin, definitely 5/5 stars, 2 thumbs up.
Thanks so much Byron!
Thanks so much! I think I want to try with on nacho chips.
Sounds like a great plan! Hope you enjoy!
Wow. Appétissant🤗🤗🤗Je le fais garanti.
Thank you! Let me know how you like it!
Yum. ❤
It’s so is Eileen! Thanks for watching!
Robin this looked so good!! I wish I could find the quinoa tortillas!!
Hi Sarah, do you have a Trader Joe's nearby? If not try Whole Foods, Sprouts, or other health food stores. If all else fails you could just go with corn or even flour tortillas.
@@RockinRobinCooks Hi Robin! We have a Sprouts. I'm going to go check!! I love all the healthy meals you make!!
Thanks for your support Sarah!
@@RockinRobinCooks you're so very welcome!! Never miss a video ❤️
Thank u so much! your recipes are great and delicious plus a healthy version. Thank u again💕 do u have a cook book?
Your comment is so kind! Thank you for your support! I am currently working on one. I’ll keep you posted.
@@RockinRobinCooks😮 I cannot wait for your cookbook. Yes!!!! a long time coming. Congratulations.🎉!!!! Your videos are fantastic. I know your cookbook is going to be awesome. I’ll be the first one to order Robin. Monday I made your kale and squash soup. It was delicious as always . whenever my family comes down with a cold that’s the first soup I make last Christmas Logan came down with Covid then my husband, my daughter I was the only one that did not contract Covid. Girl, you know I had to make your kale and squash soup to help heal my family. Thank you so much for the bottom of my heart.❤
I’m so glad your family is better now. Glad you are enjoying my recipes. Thanks for letting me know. Your comment made my day! Wishing you and your family great health!
I can't wait to make this! We do a lot of taco salads but those shells look amazing. I was wondering if I should be using olive oil or EV olive oil in the dressing. I have both but I imagine it makes a difference and I want to be sure I do this correctly. This looks amazing and I'll let you know when I make it. Thanks again for another delicious recipe!
I always use the highest quality olive oil on salads that I can find. High polyphenol count is where its at!
It is just about impossible to add anymore flavor to those! Very nice combination.
Thanks! It’s so good!! Hope you try it!
I'm gonna have to make these, but with less ingredients!!! 😂 I'm gonna have to make me another container of the homemade taco seasoning that you taught me to make, I just won't add any salt this time! I have to go get the spices I need to make it❤
Hope you enjoy it Tammy!
This looks so yummy!
Question...i googled it but need your opinion. My husband is sensitive to spicy food. Can I leave out the ancho chili powder? I see that it adds a special flavor so I know I'd love it. Thanks
If he can handle smoked paprika you can substitute that for the ancho chili powder. If not, leave it out. Believe me, it will still be delicious!
😋😋😋
Thanks Julie!
For an even healthier option, did you know you can put the tortillas in the toaster oven and toast them to a crisp? I do that with my corn tortillas all the time. 😊 I love tostadas!
That's a great idea!
I use olive oil
Ok
Looks good Robin, but those refried beans are a little pricy
Try charro beans.
Hi Mike, yes they are. Seems we have to pay more for quality but heck you can always make them from scratch by using my recipe: ua-cam.com/video/X382ZAKp0jk/v-deo.htmlsi=BhiTlYtUcFFLZMJ1
Cheddar cheese!?!?! Neither healthy nor mexican.
