Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning or homemade equivalent
  • 8 tostada shells
  • 1 cup refried beans (optional, for spreading on the shells)

  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until soft.
  2. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Incorporate the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned (6-8 minutes).
  3. Mix in taco seasoning, water, salt, and pepper; simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
