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)
