Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, ripe vegetables and quality meats for the best flavor and texture. Look for organic or locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcook the Beef: Cook the ground beef until it's just browned, but not overcooked and dry. Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy.
  • Use Ripe Avocados: Ripe avocados are essential for a creamy, flavorful guacamole. Make sure the avocados are soft and yield to gentle pressure.
  • Use Fresh Cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the tostadas. If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can substitute parsley or another fresh herb.
  • Serve Immediately: Tostadas are best served immediately after they are made. The tostada shells will become soggy if they sit for too long.
