Why This Recipe Is A Must Try

This dish combines crispy textures with fresh, vibrant flavors. It’s easy to make and perfect for a quick meal or casual gathering. The balance of savory and zesty ingredients keeps every bite exciting.

Cooking Advice

- Use fresh, ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.
- Toast the tortilla shells just until golden and crispy to avoid sogginess.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice to brighten the flavors and keep ingredients fresh.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up as it browns, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes. Once it’s cooked through, drain any excess grease, then stir in the tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Let it cook together for a couple of minutes, then take it off the heat.

Step 2

Grab your frozen pizza and place it on a pizza pan or any round baking sheet you have. Spread a layer of refried beans evenly over the crust, then spoon the seasoned beef mixture on top. Finish it off with a generous sprinkle of shredded Cheddar cheese.

Step 3

Pop the pizza into the oven and bake until the crust is nice and crispy, the edges turn golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly—this usually takes about 15 to 17 minutes. Once it’s done, let it cool for a minute or two before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Serving Options

Serve with a side of black beans or a simple green salad to complement the crunch and zest. A cold beverage, like a light beer or sparkling water with lime, pairs well to refresh the palate.

Proper Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, store toppings separately from the tostada shells to keep them crisp. Use airtight containers and consume within 1-2 days for the best taste and texture.
