Trader Joe's is putting a twist on a classic Mexican and Latin American dish with its new Trader Joe's Layered Beef Tostada.
A tostada traditionally refers to one toasted flour tortilla topped with the same kinds of ingredients you'd find on a taco. To make this dish a little more hearty, Trader Joe's has doubled up on the ingredients to create a layered tostada-style dish. More specifically, you'll find two toasted flour tortillas laid with enchilada sauce, seasoned ground beef, whole pinto beans, and a blend of cheddar and monterey jack cheeses. The whole thing is then topped with black olives, green onions, diced tomatoes, and more cheese.
Best of all, this dish is ready in less than 20 minutes. As the brand explains, "Though preparing Trader Joe’s Layered Beef Tostada may not be quite as effortless as cruising through the drive-thru, we can honestly say that it’s really quite easy and fairly fast."
