Tostadas
Ingredients
1 tsp Olive oil

1/4 cup Chopped onion

1 Garlic clove, minced

1/2 tsp Seeded and minced jalapeno or poblano pepper

4 oz Cooked ground beef, crumbled

2 oz Drained canned red kidney beans, mashed

1/2 cup Canned Italian tomatoes, drained, seeded, and

Chopped (reserve liquid)

1/4 cup Canned beef broth

3/4 tsp Chili powder

1/4 tsp Each ground cumin and oregano leaves

1/8 tsp Salt

2 Tostada shells (6-inch diameter)

1 oz Cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup Shredded lettuce

1/4 cup Chopped fresh tomato

1/4 cup Sour cream

Preparation
Garnish: cilantro sprigs



Preheat oven to 350F. In 10-inch skillet heat oil over medium-high heat; add onion, garlic, and jalapeno (or poblano) pepper and saute until onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add beef, kidney beans, canned tomatoes with reserved liquid, broth, and seasonings. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer until liquid is reduced and mixture thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.



Place tostada shells on nonstick baking sheet and bake until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to serving plate. Spread half of meat mixture over each shell; sprinkle each with half of cheese, then top each with half of shredded lettuce and chopped fresh tomato. Serve with sour cream garnished with cilantro.



Makes 2 servings.
