Toastadas
Do you remember that delicious dish I made last night with Ropa Vieja? Well it made a huge pot of meat, I did use a 3 lb pot roast after all. Needless to say I had some leftovers. I thought to myself what the heck am I going to do with all this meat? Then I remembered these pans I got awhile back, that can mold tortillas into bowls.
When I got home I heated up the left over beef and put some tortillas into the pans. I cooked them at 350 degrees for about 10 mins, or till they were toasty. While they were in the oven I made a pico de gallo salsa. Once the shells were done I sprinkled shredded cheese in them, laid the beef on top and topped it all off with the pico. I garnished them with some chopped cilantro and avaocado on the side. They were super Yum-E and easy!
Here is how I made the pico de gallo.
1/2 onion diced
4 roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced
2 Tbs fresh squeezed lime juice
3 Tbs cilantro, chopped
1 Tbs red taco sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
Toss all together in a bowl, and serve.

What a great way to use leftovers! And I suppose you could use any oven-proof pan, no matter what the shape? Looks so tasty and refreshing!
I used to have the tostada bowl pan, and have lost them in a divorce. Where did you purchase yours? I have been looking everywhere for them? my e-mail is astonick@hotmail.com. Sincerely Amy Stonick
