Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
Dairy and Toppings:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
Tortillas and Shells:
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 6 tostada shells
- Cooking spray or oil (for cooking the tortillas to a crispy golden brown)
Instructions
- Preheat a spacious skillet over medium flame, introducing ground beef and methodically fragmenting the meat while cooking until completely caramelized and rich brown, approximately 7-10 minutes.
- Eliminate excessive fat drippings, then incorporate taco seasoning, stirring thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly and create a robust, thickened mixture.
- Gently warm tortillas to enhance flexibility, ensuring they remain supple and easy to manipulate without cracking.
- Position a large tortilla on a clean surface, strategically centering a crisp tostada shell as the structural foundation.
- Generously spread nacho cheese sauce across the tostada shell, creating a luxurious base layer for subsequent ingredients.
- Meticulously layer seasoned beef, crisp shredded lettuce, vibrant diced tomatoes, melty cheddar cheese, and a creamy dollop of sour cream atop the cheese sauce.
- Expertly fold tortilla edges inward, creating a precise hexagonal configuration that securely encapsulates all ingredients.
- Lightly coat a skillet with cooking spray, then carefully position the wrapped creation folded-side downward.
- Sear for 2-3 minutes until achieving a golden, crispy exterior, then delicately flip and repeat on the opposite side.
- Transfer to a serving plate and accompany with complementary condiments like salsa, guacamole, or additional sour cream for an enhanced culinary experience.
Notes
- Adjust meat seasoning by adding extra chili powder or cumin for deeper flavor complexity.
- Use lean ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for healthier protein alternatives.
- Ensure tortillas are room temperature and pliable to prevent cracking during folding.
- Seal edges tightly with extra cheese as “glue” to prevent filling from spilling during cooking.
