How to Make Tostada Grande
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground beef and brown, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 tbsp chili seasoning, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies (undrained), and 1-2 tbsp hot pepper sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Bring to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Lightly grease a 9 or 10-inch pie plate.
- If using tortillas, warm them slightly to make them more pliable. If using biscuits, separate them.
- Arrange tortillas or biscuits in the pie plate, pressing them to cover the bottom and sides to form a crust.
- Spread 1 (15 ounce) can of warmed refried beans evenly over the crust.
- Top with the meat mixture.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Garnish with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and sliced onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
