TOSTADAS / TACO SALAD

Ingredients:

*No Bake “Tortilla Land” tortillas from Costco, homemade tortillas or tortillas from the grocery store

1 pound lean ground hamburger

Chopped green onion

Grated cheese

Avocado

Refried Beans

Sour Cream

Taco Sauce

Brown Rice

Shredded Lettuce (optional)

Shredded cabbage (optional)

Chopped bell peppers (optional)

Materials Needed:

Perfect Tortilla Pan or Muffin Tins

Directions:

Chop green onion, chop bell peppers (I use a food chopper). Crumble and Brown 1 pound of  hamburger in a sauteuse pan.

Cook refried beans.

Cook rice according to package directions.

Fry each tortilla separately in a sauteuse pan turning when bubbles appear on the top.  Store each tortilla in a tortilla container.  Place each tortilla in “the perfect tortilla pan” http://www.asseenontv.com/perfect-tortilla-pan/detail.php?p=373757.  Carefully pierce the bottom and sides of the tortillas with a fork (helps prevent bubbling while cooking).  If you don’t have a set of “perfect tortilla pans”, the bottom of muffin tins may be used to make a tostada bowl.  Once the tortillas have been pierced in the pan, place them in a 400 degree F oven and bake for 8 minutes…but checking after 7 minutes (oven temperatures can vary).  Cook them until they are beginning to brown on the edges.

Slice avocado

Serve all separately.  Then create your fabulous Tostada/Taco Salad.
*Corn Tortillas will work also.
