These Crispy Beef Tostadas are delicious and so easy to make! They remind me of Navajo Tacos that I had when I was growing up in Texas.
The texture of the tostada is so thick and delicious – very filling. I’ve also listed all the toppings that I like.
I’ve also substituted leftover shredded beef for the ground beef and they are delicious too!
These are in my regular rotation and I make them at least once a month.
