Enchilada Sauce for Brown Tostadas

from Grandma M Brown

A favorite of many, this can be served a variety of ways. We usually get it all cooked and then let everyone line up and fry their own tortillas, dip their tortillas, and dish everything up. But here are the basics.

Enchilada Sauce (or just buy a can of your favorite enchilada sauce):

1 pkg Schilling Enchilada Sauce Mix
1 1/2 C water
1 can tomato soup
1 can tomato sauce

Other Ingredients (most of these are optional, mix and match how you like it):

1 lb ground beef

1 onion, chopped

1 can black beans

1 can refried beans

corn tortillas

lettuce, shredded

cheese, shredded

tomatoes, chopped

olives, sliced

sour cream

avocadoes or guacamole

eggs, fried

oil, for frying

Directions:

Sauce: Mix everything together in a small sauce pan big enough to dip a tortilla into it and bring to boil.

Cook: Brown the ground beef and onion on stove and keep warm. Warm up the black beans and refried beans separately.

Fry: Fry tortillas in oil and place on paper towel lined plate. Some people prefer theirs crispy and others like them soft and just barely fried. Fry 1-2 eggs/person in a separate pan and keep warm.

Serve (assembly line style is easiest): First get a fried tortilla and dip it til its covered in the enchilada sauce and place on plate. Then add meat, black beans, and refried beans as desired. Get a second fried tortilla and dip it as well and place on top. Then layer the rest of desired toppings ending with fried egg on top and enjoy!
