5 Ingredient Mexican: Tostada

Lorn and I used to be on a very tight budget. We ate Tostadas at least 3 times a week. This is an even more simplified version of what we used to eat and it tastes just as good. This is great for people who need sustenance, are on a budget and don’t have a whole lot of time.
