Recipe



In a large skillet, saute ground beef and onion. Cook until beef is browned. Drain, if necessary. Add tomato paste, beer, green chiles, garlic, chili powder, and sugar to the beef and onions. Heat until mixture begins to boil, then reduce to simmer. Continue to simmer uncivered for appoximately 20-30 minutes, or until thickened, as desired. Let stand. Next, place refried beans in small saucepan and heat.

Heat 1/4 to 1/2-inch vegetable oil in small skillet until hot. Dip each tortilla into heated oil. Cook each side for appoximately 20-40 seconds, or until crisp and lightly browned. Place on paper towel to drain.

When ready to serve, prepare each tostada separately. Spread generous amount of beans over top of tortillas and layer with meat mixture to cover beans. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over mixture. Add lettuce and tomatoes. Top with avocado and serve warm.
