These Beef Tostadas are one of the easiest and tastiest foods you’ll ever make. So easy to cook and extremely customizable. You can put this beef on corn or flour tortillas, or top some lettuce for a vegetable option.

I clearly love to cook but I am so much more than that. I am a wife, a mother of two, digital marketing executive and an Autism support coach. Yep! My hands are full!
