A month or so ago, I was at the store buying tostada shells to use with our beans and thought I would make them like a 7 layer bean dip, but on a tostada shell. They were a bit hit at our house. I make my guacamole real fancy....smash the avocado out of the shell, add lime juice, salt and pepper to taste and then mix well :) Also, my kids would prefer to substitute salsa for the tomatoes. Of course the amount of ingredients will depend on if there are 2 of you or 10.
7 layer tostadas
Ingredients:
- tostada shells
- smashed beans...if you use a can of refried beans, you will want to add some taco seasoning for flavor
- guacamole
- sour cream
- shredded cheese
- sliced olives
- chopped tomatoes....or salsa
- slice green onions
Directions: Heat your beans and layer ingredients in order from top bullet to bottom.
Do you have a favorite way to make guacamole? Please share :)

My favorite way to make guacamole is the standard avocado, lime, sour cream and/or greek yogurt, but I saw this on a TV show, had to try it, and I now cannot eat guacamole without them. What you ask? Pomegranate seeds. I know that it sounds weird, but I promise you it is amazing.
ReplyDeletehmmm...sounds interesting! I LOVE pomegranates, so I'll have to try it! Thanks sdonn!
ReplyDeleteMash up an avocado with a squeeze or two of lime juice. Add in a few tablespoons of salsa and sour cream. If you need to stretch it, add finely shredded lettuce. (Got that tip from a Mexican eatery employee.) I actually prefer it with the lettuce mixed in.
ReplyDeleteI like to add diced onion, diced tomato (or some rotel), lime juice, cumin, cilantro and slap ya mamma. Also, I like to put taco seasoning in my sour cream for this dish.
ReplyDeleteWhen making my guac, I add cheese!!! Melted cheese makes all the difference.
ReplyDelete2 avocados
2 TBS Mild Pace picante
now the cheese..
I usually take the kraft single slices, small microwavable bowl, and add a little milk and melt. Or if ur making something with cheese already (like velvetta) I use a little of the velvetta. Usually 1-2 TBS off melted cheese. I would not recommend cheddar or other cheese. The kraft singles make it perfect.
Now mush it all up (or i put mine in the baby bullet and blend up really well. EVERYONE loves my guac.
Here's my simple recipe--nothing exotic. I mash a ripe avocado and squeeze half a lemon and mix together. Add a little salt if desired. When I crave avocado, here is what I make. I put Miracle Whip on two pieces of bread and put a thick layer of my mashed avocado on top of each slice and yumm! I get it that an avocado sandwich is not for everyone, but my family loves it as I do.
