Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, combine garlic salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper. Set aside. (2 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease and keep warm. (10 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

Brush both sides of each tortilla with vegetable oil. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. (3 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the tortillas are crisp and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Flip the tortillas and continue baking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the other side is also crispy. (10 minutes)

06

Step
7 mins

While the tortillas are baking, heat the refried beans in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. This should take about 5 minutes. (7 minutes)

07

Step
5 mins

Once the tortillas are crispy, divide the heated refried beans evenly among them, spreading to cover one side. Top with the cooked ground beef mixture, shredded lettuce, Cheddar cheese, and diced tomato. Serve immediately and enjoy! (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of chili powder to the beef mixture while it's cooking.
Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking! Consider adding sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or jalapenos.
To make ahead, you can cook the beef mixture and prepare the toppings in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, simply bake the tortillas and assemble the tostadas.
For spicier tostadas, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef mixture.

    These tostadas were a huge hit with my family! The oven-baked tortillas are so much healthier than fried, and they still have a great crunch.

  • Willa Fritsch

    The spices were perfect! I will definitely be making these again.

  • Alexandrine Keebler

    I loved how easy these were to make. I added some black beans and corn to the beef mixture for extra flavor and texture.
