SEASONINGS FOR MEAT
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb chorizo (mexican sausage)
2 tsp cumin, ground
1 medium tomato, diced
1/4 c jalapeno peppers, diced
1/3 c onion, diced
2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp coriander & annatto (sazon)
1/2 jar(s) pizza sauce (approx)
TOPPINGS FOR YOUR TOSTADA
1 can(s) refried beans, spicy
seasoned ground meat
queso quesadilla or mozarella
lettuce, shredded
sour cream
tomato, diced
olives
hot sauce

Steps:

1. Cook up your meat & add seasoning while cooking. Drain grease off and then add your tomatoes and jalapeno's.
2. Heat up your beans in a pan till they are nice and hot. Get your tostadas and smear on a tablespoon or more of beans then top with meat mixture.
3. Now, layer all the other goodies....I go with cheese first because I want it to melt into the meat. Then, lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, olives, a little more cheese and then some hot sauce.
4. Don't let these fool you. They are very filling and will serve as a meal. At least they do in our house. Now my husband has a couple of them but I am good with just one. Splurge and get some Mexican Sangria (non-alcoholic) or Mexican pop from your local Mexican restaurant...always fun to serve with it.
5. Here is the seasoning I use. Just in case you are looking around for it you'll have a picture.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large tortillas
Vegetable oil for deepfrying
9 ounces chorizo sausage, removed from casings and crumbled
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
1 cup shredded anejo cheese
1 head green leaf lettuce, shredded

Steps:

Pour the oil into a large pot, to a depth of 2 to 3 inches, and heat to 375 degrees F. Drop in 1 tortilla at a time and fry until crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes, turning once. Remove with tongs, shake off excess oil and transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat for all tortillas.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the chorizo and saute for 3 minutes, or until browned. Spoon out excess fat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute to release its aroma. Add the tomatoes saute an additional minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the anejo cheese.
To serve, spoon warm chorizo mixture onto crisp tortillas and top with shredded lettuce.
