Meet the Cook: I am a self-taught cook whose family had to eat a lot of mistakes till I got the right taste! I changed the meat and flavoring many times in this one-dish meal, for example. Now, it's a favorite. I just served it to 24 people at a party. My husband and I have seven grown children and 10 grandchildren. -Joy Rackham, Chimacum, Washington Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
5 teaspoons baking powder |
1-1/4 cups milk |
1 pound ground beef |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies |
1 envelope taco seasoning |
3/4 cup water |
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans |
oil for deep-fat frying |
picante sauce |
shredded lettuce |
finely chopped green onions |
chopped tomatoes |
shredded cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine flour and baking powder; add the milk to form a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 1 hour.
2. About 30 minutes before serving, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in garlic, chilies, taco seasoning and water; simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in beans; heat through and keep warm.
3. Divide dough into sixths. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 7-in. circle. In a deep-fat fryer, preheat oil to 375°. Fry tostadas in hot oil until golden, turning once; drain on paper towels. Top each with meat mixture, picante sauce, lettuce, onions, tomatoes and cheese. Yield: 6 servings.
