Beef Tostadas Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Yes, I know. Comfort food has many names and shapes. Yours could be macaroni and cheese or your mother’s famous soup. Mine has a name too: Beef Tostadas; a flat crispy fried corn tortilla with Shredded beef or even with chicken or just plain beans, garnished with lettuce, tomato, onions, and fresh cheese without forgetting a good salsa to enhance the flavors.

Beef Tostadas Recipe

Beef Tostadas Recipe | Mexican Tostadas Recipe | Authentic Mexican Recipes by Mexico in My Kitchen

Some days when I find myself feeling the “nostalgia” of missing my home country, is the perfect excuse to prepare these delicious tostadas, listening to one of my favorites romantic Mexican radio stations via the internet. This combination seems to cure all kind of “blues” I may have. And for a moment, everything seems fine. It’s all good! (It will be interesting to know what are some of the comfort foods of other cultures).

Shredded Beef Tostadas, easy and delicious treat.
Antojitos must be one of the most missed dishes for any Mexican living abroad. Tostadas is just one of the many antojitos that can be prepared with different types of toppings, like chicken, beef, seafood, beans, and pork feet. Yes, pork feet indeed!
Tortillas were sun-dried since the ancient Aztec times, to make them last longer.  Still, some years ago, you could find sun-dried tortillas in popular cities, like Toluca in Central Mexico. It took several days to dry the tortillas, depending on the weather. At home, you can use your oven to dry the tortillas, placing them on a baking sheet, brush them with vegetable oil and cover them with your cooling rack to keep them flat. Then toast at 200 degrees (low temperature) for about 10 minutes. Or, as an alternative, you can deep-fry the tortillas in oil until golden, rigid and crispy. Drain on paper towels. This is the most common method used in Mexico.

Note: A day-old tortillas are better for tostadas since they absorb less oil and laying them on your counter overnight will start the drying process. Place a kitchen towel and remove the tortillas from their plastic packing, layer and cover them with another towel.

Chicken Tostadas, a classic mexican dish
Besides beef tostadas, you can also make the tostadas with other toppings like chicken, ground beef, cooked fish, fish ceviche, pork… Well… you get the idea.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Corn tostadas
  • 1 cup refried beans, warm
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded skirt steak or your favorite meat veggie or seafood
  • 3 cups Shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 medium size tomato chopped
  • ½ small onion diced
  • 1 cup crumbled queso fresco Feta and Parmesan are a good substitution.
  • 1 avocado diced or sliced
  • ½ cup Mexican cream or Creme Fraiche
  • A good salsa of your choice

For the meat:

  • You can use leftover meat from a different cut of meat. Shred it or cut in small bite-size pieces. If you are starting from scratch cook the meat earlier or the day before. I like to cook the meat in the morning and always make enough to freeze and use in other dishes.
  • For this recipe, you will need 1 pound of Skirt steak ¼ pc. of a small onion, 2 garlic cloves, and 1 bay leaf. Place the ingredients in a stock pot filled with water and cook over medium heat. Cooking time will be about 2 hours until meat is tender enough to be shredded. Let it cool, season with salt and pepper. But I always cook more that one pound. Meat cooked this way is great for tacos, sopes sandwiches and much, much more.

      They look amazing. I want to try cooking the meat in the pressure cooker to make it faster.

      I have too many comfort foods. A simple beans, ham and cheese torta with bolillos fresh from the bakery, my mom's conchitas soup with Chiapas cream cheese (the one wrapped in wax), enchiladas with minced beef and mole, empanadas with cabbage on top, tamales de masa colada, caldo de barbacoa, so many. You can tell I grew up in Tabasco hahaha.

      No se te hace interesante como la gastronomia de La Paz, B.C. es tan diferente a otras costas de Mexico. A mi me sorprendio que puedes ir a comer tacos de mariscos en las mananas! Y que hay un monton de puestos en las calles llenos de gente comiendolos. Si alguien me lo contara no lo creeria pero ya que estas ahi le entras a los tacos de mariscos.

      🙂

      Y porque no haces las tostadas en tu casa?

      Ahora voy a tener que contactar a alguien en Tabasco para que me envien un quesito de esos ya que de todos los quesos Mexicanos el queso de Chiapas es mi favorito.

      Te confieso que las tostadas con chipotle que venden en México me encantan, me comería un sobre entero sin darme cuenta.
      Lo bueno es que en dos meses voy a tener chances de hacerlo! 😀

      On tostada days, my mom would fry the corn tortillas early in the day, stack them sideways with paper towels between them, and then store them in a blue speckled enamel pot in the lower oven. So we could prepare them easily ourselves. We only used fresh refried beans (no cans) and no meat. Thanks for bringing back that fantastic memory.

      Deveras que las tostadas es un platillo que te saca de apuros. Qué vienen los cuates de tu marido, pues tostadas, que vamos de día de campo, tostadas, que vamos a ver que picamos tostadas.
      Y sabes qué Mely? Que me doy cuenta que desde que estoy aquí no me he comido tostadas porque antes las compraba en el mercado de la Guerrero, y son ma-ra-vi-llo-sas, son super sabrosas, no están grasosas, están salitas y sabe el maíz tan rico. Incluso le compro a mi amiga que vive en Francia y se las lleva y se la pasa tostando antes de comerlas y vuelven a estar crujintes y frescas. Ahora que vuelva me voy a comprar mis tostadas. Son muy frescas con este caloron

      Se vé tan delicioso. I think, with all its wonderful components, Tostadas could be easily enjoyed for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

      Try adding more beans and skipping the meat; OR
      Try skipping the beans and meat and use guacomole as substitute.
      Have a meat, bean and guacomole tostado trio for dinner!

      Mom always made refried beans-and-chorizo, tacos, machacado-and-egg tacos, bacon-and-egg tacos, papas-a-la-mejicana-tacos, frijoles with freshly-made red salsa, beans refried in bacon drippings or potato-and-egg tacos for breakfast, but since we loved snacking on them at all times, she would make a lot of the filler and we would just run over to the stove, grab a freshly-made flour tortilla, fill it up with whatever was in the pan and eat to our hearts' content. Those were some great times. She would also prepare a gallon of freshly-brewed Nestea, squeeze tons of limes into it, sweeten it and left it in the refrigerator so we could enjoy with our scrumptious tacos. Those were such great times!

      Thank you for explaining how to dry, oil and bake or fry tostadas from leftover tortillas. I finely chopped a veggie burger and used it on top of retried bean tostadas. You do an excellent job of showing the authentic recipes. I then try to adapt it to a vegetarian form.
