September is one of my favorite months of the year. I love tostadas, and today I wanted to make them with beef tinga. Honestly, I had never made it before and was surprised at how good and super easy it turned out. Let the celebrations and delicious food of the month begin!

Steps

30 minutes

1

Boil the tomatoes and blend them with a splash of water.
2

In a skillet, sauté the onion (sliced into strips). Once softened, add the shredded beef (I buy it already cooked and shredded—very convenient).
3

Add the blended tomatoes, tomato sauce, and season with salt, garlic powder, and chicken bouillon powder. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat.
4

Assemble your tostadas: Spread a layer of refried beans, then add the beef tinga, followed by lettuce, sour cream, and Cotija cheese. Enjoy!
