This recipe is a crock pot recipe but can be made without your crock pot if you are running short of time to wait for your meal to be done. I’m not sure if you’d get the same flavor for the meat since it isn’t cooking in the beans, tomato sauce, and taco seasonings. Its great for the whole family since everyone can pick their own toppings! Try these tostadas and you’ll fall in love.

Directions:
Combine all main ingredients into the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
Fry the taco shells in oil. It will only fry for about 2 minutes at all time, just until the shell is crisp.

I never thought of putting the meat and beans together. I will be trying this later this week. Thanks!
I’ve never made taco meat in the slow cooker, but it seems like it would give a deeper flavor. I’ll have to try it!
We love tacos and tostadas at our house, but I’ve never tried making the meat in the slow cooker. I’ll have to give it a try!
Yummy! I make these vegetarian with beans! So good!
These look really good. We generally do them on the soft wraps but I love this idea.
I’ve made these vegan with a red pepper mix and guacamole.
I have everything to make this except taco shells. Think I will give this a shot this weekend. Yum!
