Instructions

Tostada Directions

Brown meat in skillet
Drain and add taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water
Simmer for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 deg.
Make Guacamole per recipe below.
Put corn tortillas on baking sheet (brush a bit of olive oil on each side if desired…and a little salt) and bake in oven until crispy.
Load crispy tortillas with guac, meat, cheese, olives and salsa.
Add your favorite fresh (not processed) mexican ingredients like jalapenos.

Guacamole Directions

Remove the meat from the avocados and mash in a large mixing bowl
Dice tomato and onion and add to mixing bowl
Add chopped cilantro (only use fresh not dried)
Dice Jalapeno slices (I use about 15 or so slices) and add to bowl
Add minced garlic
Add approximately 3 tbsp of lemon or lime juice (I usually use lime)
Then add the secret ingredient - Approx 1-3 tbsp of the pickling juice from the jalapeno jar. The more juice the more jalapeno flavor.
Mix and mash until the major chunks of avocado are smoothed out into a creamy texture
Salt to taste if desired (should be good without any salt)
