Delicious! My DD isn't crazy about refried beans, so I spread a layer of that on the Tostadas, then a layer of Ground Beef, then the cheese. This way I could leave the beans off of hers ;) We topped with avocado, chopped tomatoes, fresh cilantro, black olives, sour cream and salsa. Sadly, I had no lettuce, but I imagine it would really go nicely on top. We loved these! The spice mixture was just perfect. Thanks Molly, dinner was wonderful :)
