Crunchy Ten Minute Oven Baked Tostadas Easy Weeknight Meal Food

10 MINUTE OVEN BAKED TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Arrange as many tortillas as will fit on the baking sheet without overlapping. (I can get 6 on mine - if you need more than that, bake in batches or bake two sheets at a time, rotating halfway through).
• Brush both sides of the tortillas lightly with oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Bake for about 8 minutes, flipping the tortillas over about halfway through. You could also use a wire rack and omit the flipping.
• Remove from the oven and transfer to a paper towel lined tray to cool.*
• Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, or cool completely and store in a tightly sealed contained for 3-4 days.

CRISPY OVEN BEEF-AND-BEAN TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix garlic salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper together in a small bowl.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, and garlic in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Keep warm while preparing tostada shells.
• Brush oil over both sides of tortillas and arrange on a baking sheet.
• Bake tortillas in preheated oven until crisped on top, about 5 minutes. Flip tortillas and continue baking until other side crisps, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Heat refried beans in a saucepan over medium-low, stirring regularly until hot, about 5 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• Divide refried beans between tostadas and spread over one side of each; spoon ground beef mixture over the beans. Top each tostada with lettuce, Cheddar cheese, and diced tomato.
