Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 cup refried beans
1/2 cup taco sauce
2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
16 tostada shells
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/2 tsp salt

Method

Cook the ground beef with the taco seasoning according to package directions until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the refried beans with 1/4 cup of the taco sauce and the 1/2 teaspoon of salt until well blended.
Spread 1 tablespoon of the refried bean mixture evenly on each of two tostada shells.
Top one shell with 3-4 tablespoons of the cooked taco meat and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Carefully place the second tostada shell on top to create a sandwich. Spread a tablespoon of taco sauce over the top shell.
Top the pizza with another two tablespoons of shredded cheese and a sprinkle of diced tomatoes. Place in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the shells are crispy.

Notes

– Ensure your tostada shells are sturdy enough to hold the toppings.
– Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
– Adjust the amount of taco sauce and cheese to your personal preference.
