My childhood favorite

Tonybel · May 22, 2013

Today I did something my mother always made and it was my favorite. Its called tostadas de picadillo.
Here is what is needed....

1 onion chopped, 3 jalapenos, 3 potatoes.

Seasoned the ground beef with this..

Cook down and when its half way cooked add your ingridients.

Then add 1- 8 oz of tomatoe sauce and 4 oz of water and reduce until meat is cooked and potatoes are tender.

All done.

get your tostada add mayo..

add a layer of beans...

then add the meat and top with sour cream and salsa..

Thanks for looking..

That looks awesome! My kind of food.

That looks great, you lost me on the mayo at first. I don't think I have ever heard of that being done. But, I will go there.

My mom would put mayo on everything... When I was a kid she would put some on a tortilla and that was my breakfast with a juice..

LOL! Yes, mayo. My grandma did wonders with mayo and Miracle Whip. I had many tortillas with mayo. :biggrin1:
Sometimes it was a slice of bread, some avocado, mayo, then folded in half. Good stuff!

That looks great. I'm always looking for new ways to cook hamburger.

Hmmm, this is so odd. I have never associated mayonnaise with Mexican or Cali-Mex or Tex-Mex, with the exception of Tortas. I happen to like mayo, so this is quite intriguing to me.

I'm ready - mouth watering - add some extra chilli for me as it can never be too hot!!!

^ me too, but hey, I'm in! Looks pretty darn good to me and I'll give it a shot the next time we have picadillo.

PatAttack · May 23, 2013

I'd hit it. Looks good from here!

Shooter1 · May 23, 2013

Agree with Landarc, never heard of using mayo with any Mexican before but what the hey it looks great. I'd try it at least once.

code3rrt · May 23, 2013

Yep, my red flag kinda went up too with the mayo..........but what the hell, that all looks really really great!

That looks great. (I’d Add some lettuce & cheese) My Father in Law would put on everything as well. Ever have a Peanut Butter & Mayo sandwich? :twitch:
