Ingredients
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
Tostada Base and Toppings
- 4 low-carb tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- Sour cream, for topping
- Avocado, sliced or diced for topping
Instructions
- Preheat and crisp tortillas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the low-carb tortillas on a baking sheet in a single layer, then bake them for 5-7 minutes until they become crispy and golden. This will give the tostadas their signature crunch.
- Sauté aromatics: While the tortillas crisp, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they soften and become fragrant, creating a flavorful base for the beef.
- Cook the beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet along with the taco seasoning. Break the meat apart and cook until fully browned and cooked through, approximately 7-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and blending of flavors.
- Assemble the tostadas: Once the tortillas are crisp and the beef mixture is ready, build your tostadas. Start by layering the crispy tortillas with a generous spoonful of the seasoned ground beef, then add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Finish with dollops of sour cream and sliced or diced avocado on top for creaminess and extra flavor.
Notes
- To keep the tortillas crispy, assemble the tostadas just before serving.
- You can customize the taco seasoning based on your preferred spice level or make your own mix with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano.
- For a dairy-free option, skip the cheese and sour cream or use plant-based alternatives.
- Additional toppings like jalapeños, sliced olives, or fresh cilantro can enhance flavor.
