TARANTULA TOSTADAS (OR TACOS)
I have to admit, every once in a while I've just gotta play with my food. Being an adult is hard work, so sometimes you just have to say NO. This cute idea is from Betty Crocker, but they used the Old El Paso Stand 'n Stuff shells with the flat bottoms. Since I couldn't find them, I used tostada bowls. More room for more spiders! You can add whatever else you like - I added some refried beans as the first layer and also some guacamole.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325°F.
- Heat tostada or taco shells in oven as directed on box, usually just a couple of minutes.
- In a 10-inch skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.
- Stir in taco seasoning mix and water.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
- Spoon beef mixture into heated tostada or taco shells. Top with cheese, lettuce and tomato.
- Spoon sour cream into small resealable food-storage plastic bag. Seal bag; cut VERY tiny hole in corner of bag. Pipe sour cream over top of each taco to resemble spider web.
- For each spider, top taco with 1 olive, pitted end down. Cut second olive lengthwise into 8 pieces; place around whole olive for legs. For eyes, squeeze 2 dots of sour cream onto top of olive.
- BOO!

BEEF TOSTADAS/TACOS
I found this recipe on the parents.com website and decided to try it for my family. Although I couldn't find tostada shells, I substituted taco shells. With 2 kids, probably made for easier eating anyway. My family loved this and have requested I make this again! We also added Sour Cream and although I didn't have any guacamole, I think it would be a great addition to this recipe. Fix them up which ever way suits your taste. The meat is delicious!

Steps:
- Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Place 3 tablespoons of the lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, onion, chili powder, cumin and cayenne pepper in a slow cooker. Place beef on top and cook on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours.
- Remove beef to a cutting board and when cool enough to handle, shred and place in a large bowl.
- Strain remaining liquid and add the strained liquid and remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice to beef and stir to combine.
- Warm shells in oven according to directions. While Tostadas are baking, heat refried beans in microwave for 1 1/2 minutes on high or until warm.
- Top shells with beans, meat, lettuce, cheese, and salsa and enjoy.

JALISCO-STYLE TOSTADAS (OR SOPES)
A local recipe and I changed a few things around in several places. Originally, the recipe was for sopes not tostadas but I have problems frying the tortillas for making sopes (they always fall apart and/or lose their shape). Until I master that technique, it's tostadas for us. We buy a good quality, locally made/locally sourced chorizo that contains red wine vinegar and NO preservatives or other yucky stuff. I will try to post a copycat recipe for that one in the near future. The recipe is easily adaptable to vegetarian by subbing tempeh or similar.

Steps:
- Pico de Gallo: In a bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. The salsa is best prepared for optimum flavor 1 hour in advance.
- Meat: Cook *beef and chorizo in a heated skillet, breaking chorizo meat into small pieces, until browned and cooked through. Set aside. *Although the chorizo is wonderfully seasoned, my husband added a little more spices and such to the meat mixture: chipotle powder, cumin, part of a small cinnamon stick or small pinch of ground cinnamon, Mexican oregano, very small amount of salt-free garlic powder and black pepper -- that I can remember.
- Heat up the refried beans and simmer on low until ready to serve. Add more cooking liquid if the beans start to dry out.
- For the thick tortillas, mix masa and salt in a bowl. Add 1 1/4 to 11/2 c of water and knead for 1-2 min until dough comes together and is pliable. (A food processor works well for this step.) If the dough seems too dry, add more water, a tablespoon or so at a time.
- Divide dough into 8 equal portions and form into balls.
- To Make Sopes: Press the dough with your fingers from the center outwards to create a shallow, flat bowl approximately 5" in diameter. Heat 1" of vegetable oil in a skillet to 350° and fry tortillas approximately 2 min each side, until golden brown. Remove from oil and place onto paper towels.
- To Make Tostadas: Take each portion/ball of dough and flatten either with a tortilla press or with a rolling pin to about shy 1/2" thickness. Fry the same way as indicated in Step above.
- To assemble, place a tortilla onto a plate, top with refried beans, ground beef and chorizo mix, pico de gallo, cheese and shredded cabbage/lettuce and radishes. Add a dollop of crema and garnish with cilantro and lime.
- Serving suggestions: I placed the garnishes on a large platter for a "Build-Your-Own" Tostada Bar. Best part of this recipe? LEFTOVERS! Our sides: Recipe #117892 and Recipe #12740 (subbing strawberries, Texas Red Star grapefruit and Valencia oranges for the melons.).
