Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 16 oz ground beef
- 2/3 cup low sodium beef broth
- 2 (16 oz) cans refried beans
- 12 tostada shells
- Desired toppings: shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced onion, salsa, sour cream, avocados, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, cornstarch, smoked paprika, salt, coriander and cayenne pepper.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened.
- When the onion is soft, add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned and cooked through.
- Stir the prepared spiced mixture into the meat, then stir in the beef broth.
- Bring to a simmer and cook until it is thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Place the beans in a saucepan and add just enough water to thin them out just a little bit. Cook over medium heat until warmed through.
- Place your tostada shells on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for a few minutes, just to heat them through.
- To build your tostada - spread some of the warmed beans on each tostada shell, then top with some of the ground beef mixture. Add desired toppings.
- Serve immediately.
