Homemade Tostadas Recipe

Homemade Tostadas Recipe– Flour tortillas topped with meat, beans, lettuce, cheese, and an amazing avocado salsa!

This yummy meal has been a favorite of mine since childhood. On our birthdays, my mom would let us pick what we wanted for dinner. This was my most requested birthday dinner!

The avocado salsa on top really makes the recipe for me. I think of my childhood every time I serve this to my family!We actually called these burritos when I was growing up, but I don’t usually fold mine up, so they’re really more like tostadas.

You can fold them up, but I like a lot of salsa on mine, so if I go that route I pour the salsa over the top. These are such a refreshing meal, especially on warm nights. But I can eat them any time of year!

You can adapt the salsa to your liking, but this is how I like it. The oregano gives it a different flavor than most Mexican dishes, and I love it. But if you prefer, you can add less or leave it out.
