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
 

  1. Cook the ground beef with the taco seasoning according to package directions until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. Spread 1 tablespoon of the refried bean mixture evenly on each of two tostada shells.
  4. Top one shell with 3-4 tablespoons of the cooked taco meat and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  5. Carefully place the second tostada shell on top to create a sandwich. Spread a tablespoon of taco sauce over the top shell.
  6. Top the pizza with another two tablespoons of shredded cheese and a sprinkle of diced tomatoes. Place in the air fryer basket.
  7. 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.
