Sheet Pan Tostadas :: With Allergen Options & Tips For Veggie Loading the Filling
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2-3 cups beef taco filling or fajita filling. See Notes
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 8 corn tortillas See Notes
- 2 cups cheese of choice shredded. See Notes
- Toppings of choice See Notes for ideas
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. You'll need a large sheet tray to make this recipe. If doubling up, use 2 sheet trays. You do not need to line the sheet tray with anything.
- Re-heat your taco filling while you line up the corn tortillas on the sheet tray. Brush each tortilla with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Flip the tortilla over so that the oiled side is facing down on the sheet tray and brush the other side of the tortilla with a thin layer of olive oil. Bake the tortillas for 10 minutes at 425 degrees.
- Take the tortillas out of the oven and scoop up a good few tablespoons or so of taco filling onto each corn tortilla. The amount you use will depend on the size of your tortillas, and personal preference.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top of the meat and bake at 425 degrees for another 5 minutes. Top each tostada with the toppings of your choice.
Notes
- There are plenty of store-bought corn tortilla options! Just watch the ingredients for the closest to whole foods and good oils as possible. I have recently been making my own corn tortillas, and it is super easy to both make, and make ahead for the freezer so that you always have them on hand. This allows me to control the corn so that it is non-GMO, as well as make sure the oil used is healthy.
- If you are grain free and cannot have the corn tortillas, try the almond flour wraps from Siete! They work great.
- This recipe works great to use up leftovers from taco night or fajita night! Double or triple up your taco meat or fajita meat and you can use the leftovers to scoop for tostadas. I like to veggie load my taco meat so everything is in there without having to add extra veggies to the top of the tostada.
- I like to use a sheep's milk Manchego for the cheese since we tolerate that best. You can use whatever cheese works for you. If you are dairy free, the Viola Life coconut based cheese alternative melts great!
- I love to use fermented red onions on tostadas, and it is great way to get beneficial bacteria into the family! Other topping ideas that work great are avocados or guacamole, salsa or diced tomatoes, and other chopped herbs like cilantro. We also like a squeeze of lime juice!
