Recipe
Using a wax coated type small paper plate, microwave each slice of provolone for 2 minutes on high or until brown and crispy. Let cool for a second then remove and do the next one until all are cooked. *Unless your microwave cooks evenly all over the surface, do just 1 at a time:) You can sprinkle lightly at this time with salt and pepper while they cool. Stack once cooled.
In a large skillet, brown ground beef, onions, beans(drained)and spices until cooked through.
On each provalone tostada shell, layer meat mixture, lettuce, tomato then cheese.
You can add optional ingredients like: sour cream, salsa, jalapenoslices, olives, guacamole, etc -just be sure to add the carbs:)
