1 lbGround beef
2 tbspTaco seasoning
0.5 cupWater
0.5 cupNacho cheese sauce
0.5 cupSour cream
1 cupIceberg lettuce, shredded
1 tomatoRoma tomato, diced
0.5 cupSharp cheddar, shredded
2 tbspVegetable oil for the sear

Instructions

Brown the ground beef in a skillet, breaking it apart. Drain. Add taco seasoning and water; simmer 4 minutes until thick.
Warm the nacho cheese sauce.
Lay one tortilla flat. In the center, layer beef, then cheese sauce, then a tostada shell, then sour cream, lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheddar.
Fold the tortilla up over the filling in pleats, working around the circle. The center should land like a stop sign with no gap.
Heat oil in a hot pan. Place the wrap seam-side down and weight it lightly with another pan or a flat lid.
Cook 2 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Substitutions

Ground beef to Black beans or seasoned lentils. Use 2 cups cooked; works for vegetarian.
Nacho cheese sauce to Queso fresco crumbles. Drier; add a teaspoon of olive oil for slip.
Sour cream to Plain Greek yogurt. Tangier; thinner. Cuts the richness.

Pairs well with: Pickled red onion, Lime crema, Mexican rice, A cold Mexican lager

Pro tips

Pleat the tortilla tight. Loose folds blow out in the pan.
The tostada is the structural piece. Skipping it collapses the textures into a soggy mess.
A flat-bottomed pot or a heavy lid pressed onto the wrap gives you the smooth, even sear.
