Shredded Beef and Avocado Tostada

The shredded beef from the beef and sweet potato baked taquitos was so delicious that I couldn’t wait to eat the leftovers. I made these tasty tostadas for lunch, and they were simple, healthy, and tasted fantastic. I loved the tender beef with the crisp corn tortilla and the creamy refried beans topped with tasty lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, green onions, and cotija cheese. It was a light yet filling meal. I used the remaining beef for dinner and made eggs barbacoa. Three flavorful and delicious meals using shredded beef–I love that.

Flip the tortilla over and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and crisp. Set aside.

Warm the refried beans and beef in the microwave or on the stove.

Spread some refried beans on top of the crisp corn tortilla, then carefully spread some sour cream.
