Beef Tostadas-Tacos mix the best of both traditional Mexican dishes, to create a dish that is flavorful and perfect for a cozy dinner. The beef is cooked with aromatic spices and onions, which give the dish a complex depth of flavor. The taco shells are crispy and crunchy, while the toppings such as fresh lettuce, cheese, and salsa provide a fresh and zesty contrast. Essentially, this is like having a beef met in the form of an open-bun taco!
