Beef Tostadas with Mango Salsa

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Mexican

Ingredients

  • 1 mango, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for topping
  • Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 lbs ground beef
  • 15 oz can diced fire-roasted tomatoes with chiles
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp ancho chile powder
  • 8 corn tostadas
  • Shredded iceberg lettuce, for topping
  • 2/3 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Combine the mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, 1/4 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.

  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts browning, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, chile powder and 3/4 tsp salt. Continue to cook until the beef is cooked through and the sauce is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.

  3. Divide the beef among the tostadas; top with lettuce, the mango salsa, sour cream and cilantro. Sprinkle with chile powder, if desired. Serve with lime wedges.
