Beef Tostadas with Re-fried Beans and Cheese

1 pound ground beef

2 1/2 tablespoons Mexican spice mix or taco seasoning

1 can re-fried beans

12 tostada shells

2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Preheat the oven to 350°degrees. Cook and crumble the beef in a large skillet. Sprinkle with spices as it cooks. Drain and set aside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lay out the tostada shells on baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.  Spread re-fried beans on each shell making sure you cover the entire surface. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the ground beef mixture on top of the beans.  Sprinkle a few chopped green onions on top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Generously top each shell with cheese and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notes

Corn tortillas or small flour tortillas can also be used in place of the tostada shells. Tortilla chips can also be used to make oven nachos. Simply spread tortilla chips across a baking sheet, top with the beef mixture and then sprinkle with double the amount of cheese.
