Easy Ground Beef Tostadas are the ultimate quick and flavorful meal that will satisfy everyone at the table. With a crispy, crunchy tostada shell topped with seasoned ground beef, fresh veggies, and a drizzle of creamy sour cream or guacamole, these tostadas are both fun to make and eat! The ground beef is seasoned with bold flavors, while the toppings add refreshing crunch and creaminess, creating the perfect balance of textures in every bite.
- Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 tostada shells
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream or guacamole (optional)
- Salsa (optional)
- Fresh cilantro or lime wedges for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the beef is well-coated with the seasoning and the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat.
- To assemble the tostadas, spread a layer of seasoned ground beef onto each tostada shell.
- Top with shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, and shredded cheese.
- Optional: Add a dollop of sour cream or a spoonful of guacamole, salsa, and garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
