  I almost forgot to post today. The whole post a day for a month has been pretty easy, but the weekends are the hardest for me. I know that’s probably when I should have the most time to post, but I am sitting in front of a computer all week at work, so I usually like to go computer-free as much as possible on the weekends. But here I am!!

  Today’s recipe is another “not really a recipe” meal. This is probably the most eaten thing at our house. We rarely have tacos, but tostadas are a regular!! It’s kind of funny, too, because my husband will only eat tacos with flour tortilla shells, not the hard shells, but he loves tostadas. Go figure…

  I just use warmed up (in the oven on a very low temp for a few minutes) store bought tostada shells, then some warmed up refried beans. Cook up some ground beef with a little bit of taco seasoning, and top as you would like. We like onions, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and sour cream. We also usually have homemade guacamole, but avocados were really pricey when I made these. And we usually have salsa – I’m not sure why there is not any in the picture!! These are great because they come together in minutes and I usually have everything on hand. A great alternative to taco night!!

   Wow posting every single day for a month? That’s intense!

   Tostadas are some of my favorite things to eat, I haven’t had them in too long…. thanks for the reminder.

   With or without the avacado they are so sastifying and good.Now Im craving some Mexican food. I’m really impressed you’ve kept up this post a day. I rack my brain trying to create anything on a weekly basis that may or not be blog worthy.

   My family and I eat tacos or tostadas almost every week. It’s like our favorite meal, I guess. It’s fun to put the topping on yourself.
   We do the veggie crumbles a lot. They’re really good. Promise.

   Yum! When we make tacos, we usually fry up some flat tortillas so that people can choose to make a tostada, too. It’s funny — the ingredients are the same regardless. I always put refers in my tacos, which is usually what makes a tostada. Now that everyone’s thoroughly confused…

   And I still can’t figure out how people do this and work. Jeez. You’re a complete stud.
