Judging from the comments, this could be one of your best videos yet. It seems that most folks have their own take on tostadas, or mexican food in general. My wife and I crank out 20 dozen tamales prior to Christmas. Now that’s some fun. We give them to friends as gifts. And now, I’m conducting tamale making seminars for friends who want to learn how to make tamales themselves. I’m thinking of doing a video, or perhaps I’ll wait until Betty undertakes the tamale making process! Thanks again.

I usually take the cripsy thing and uses my fingers to break them in small pieces, then i put my meat on, salsa, alot of vegetables, and mix it around.

looks messy but tastes like heaven

@qualqui, lol I think thats why they invented the soft shell taco, that way u dont take a bite of taco then it falls down your blouse, lol..(never order crisp tacos on a date or u will be spending time in the restroom fishing them out! hahaha

mmmm! dont forget a good sized dollup of sour cream & fresh guacamole! yumm!
Also, cuz I’m messy eating these also, i do a cheat, where I just buy some tostitos chips, crush them to crumbs w/palms of my hands on the plate, then add all those toppings and eat it with a spoon or fork..that way less gets on my shirt & more gets in my mouth! hahaha..Thanks Betty! (((Hugs)))—-Angie

those tomatoes look so lovely! our tomatoes up here are so green looking right now…lol

@JoeBird76 lol….i am thinking the same thing

mmm every time i watch your vids i get so hungry lol that looks sooo good betty

looks delcious … but can i spice it alittle with some of jalapeno pepper when the meat was simmering ? .

Thanks for sharing this w/ us!

Also, I really like your shirt & pants in this video!

Great tostadas Betty,…now for an even more authentic mexican taste, try nopales(prickly pear)cooked and diced with some refried beans, some cheese and sour cream and yummm…

lol…..yep, its tricky eatin’ them, just as tricky eatin’ a fried crispy taco,….it all falls apart on the first bite or two!

take one bite and it all falls on the floor so i say smash it with a hammer and use a fork and spoon hehe

Yum yum Betty. I will have to try this one.

…wtf?? lol im readin that over and over and i just cant get it to make sense.

she is not cooking at all…. its her the cut the chef do it then cut she holds it

I think it’s more authentic to spice your meat, but not combine it with a salsa (which makes it kind Sloppy Joe-ish). Some fresh Pico de Gallo and Mexican hot sauce rather than a jarred salsa perhaps, as well as a little cilantro. Anyhow, that’s how you’d get it at all the Taco Trucks ’round these parts.
Btw, you keep saying ‘Tosdado’ rather than Tosdada.
Well, when you’re That cute you can get away with anything.

I’ve been making this exact same recipe for years, but I do a couple of things differently. I prefer my onions raw instead of cooked with the meat.

I also toast the shells over the flame of a burner for about 4-5 seconds each side. I just set them right on the pan grate, keep the flame low and use tongs for placement and turning. You will see then ‘dance” and start to bubble.

Don’t overtoast them. It gives the shells a toasted look and to me they just taste better.

One less pan to clean too.

You looked very lovely in this video Betty, and thanks for another great recipe!!

MMMmmmm was that Ricks? I bet sometimes he cant wait to shut off that camera for your good ole cookin. ((hugs))

yummy !!!! my favorite dish … great video

Cant go wrong with Tostadas. I put ground beef, refried bens, chopped lettuce, sour cream then white and yellow cheese on mine. Nothing fance when cooking my ground beef just 1lb of lean ground beef season all and thats it.

yummy!! they look delicious!!

This looks tasty Betty I’ll have to see if I can find the ingredients at the supermarket.

Looks like heaven on a plate. A big ol’ dollop of sour cream and guacamole would be good, too. Just don’t eat it on date, too messy.

mmmmmmmm…This looks soooo good. I haven’t really cooked much Mexican food, but I’ve made tacos. This looks just as easy and tasty. Definitely going to try these.
