Ingredients

• Shredded mozzarella cheese - 1 cup
• Ground beef - 250 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Taco seasoning - 1 tablespoon
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Shredded lettuce - 1 cup
• Sour cream - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, for juice

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Place the shredded mozzarella cheese in small mounds (about 1/4 cup each) on the baking sheet, flattening them slightly to form circles.
4. Bake the cheese in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool slightly to harden.
5. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the beef is well coated.
7. Assemble the tostadas by placing a cheese circle on a plate, topping it with cooked ground beef, shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream.
8. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
