Here’s a tasty appetizer for the 4th!
Sweet and Spicy Beef Tostada Appetizers
1 package House of Jerky Sweet and Spicy Beef Jerky (on special until july 31st)
1/3 c warm water
2 limes
1 can black beans
Guacamole (fresh store-bought or recipe below)
Sour Cream (Daisy brand is suggested)
1 bag of sturdy tortilla chips
fresh radishes (optional)
Cut the jerky up into nickel-sized pieces and place into a small bowl. Add 1/3 cup of
warm water. Ream the juice of 2 limes into the bowl.
Cover and place into the fridge overnight.
Warm the chips for 10 minutes in a 150 degree oven.
Put the soaked meat mixture into a pan on med-high heat and saute until half of the
liquid is evaporated. Rinse and drain the can of black beans, and then add to the pain.
Cook until heated through and all liquid is evaporated, stirring frequently. Remove from
heat
Assemble the mini tostadas:
Lay the chips out on a serving platter.
Top each chip with spoonful of the meat/bean mixture, a dab of guacamole, and a bit of
sour cream. You can also top each one with a radish slice if you would like. Serve with
any remaining chips and guacamole on the side, and enjoy!
Simple Guacamole
8 ripe avocados
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
Scoop the avocado meats into a bowl. Add the salt and lime juice. Mash the mixture with
a fork until combined and slightly chunky. Add the cilantro, stir, and serve.
This can be made ahead if you cover the surface of the guacamole with plastic wrap to
prevent browning.
