Description
Make a homemade version of the popular fast-food item with seasoned beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a crunchy tostada shell wrapped in a warm tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 4 slices American cheese
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomato
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 4 tostada shells
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water according to the seasoning packet directions. Simmer until the liquid reduces.
- Warm the large tortillas slightly so they are pliable.
- Place one large tortilla on a flat surface. Layer ingredients in the center: sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, a portion of the seasoned beef, a slice of cheese, lettuce, and tomato.
- Place one tostada shell on top of the fillings.
- Fold the edges of the large tortilla up and over the center ingredients, overlapping them to create a sealed hexagonal shape.
- Place the wrapped item seam-side down in a dry, warm skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and sealed.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Notes
- For a crispier exterior, you can lightly brush the outside of the large tortilla with butter before grilling.
- Use your favorite type of cheese instead of American cheese if preferred.
