How to make Chipotle Ground Beef Tostadas with Frijoles and Avocado
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, tomato paste, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in beef broth or water and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low and let the beef simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Keep warm.
- While the beef simmers, warm the refried beans. You can do this in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, or microwave them according to package directions.
- To assemble the tostadas: Spread a thin layer of warm refried beans evenly over each tostada shell.
- Top the beans with a generous spoonful of the chipotle ground beef.
- Arrange shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, crumbled cotija cheese, and a drizzle of Mexican crema or sour cream over the beef.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
