Serves
4
- 5 large flour tortillas 10-inch
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 ounce taco seasoning 1 packet, about 2 tbsps
- 2/3 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 4 tostada shells or 2 cups tortilla chips
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Steps
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.
- Add 1/3 cup of water and taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes or until thickened.
- Meanwhile, cut one of the flour tortillas into quarters. Use kitchen scissors or a knife to round the corners.
- Place the remaining four tortillas on a plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Microwave them for 20-30 seconds or until they are warm.
- Add 1/4 cup ground beef to the center of each tortilla. Top with cheese sauce. Add tostada shell, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, and cheese blend.
- Place the quartered tortilla in the center and gently fold the larger tortilla around it to seal.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- In batches, add the folded tortillas seam side down, to the skillet and cook until golden, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side.
