Awesome Hunger quenching Toastadas that are healthy and not fattening!


Healthy Tostadas ummm Good!

This is a recipe I came up with to kill two birds with one stone. It's tasty and healthy and if you follow the recipe, you can freeze the prepared meat and have a quick meal for your family several times through the week. You just thaw it out and prepare tortillas and toppings according to the recipe.

Here it is, let me know if you like it. All veges are organic please!

  • 3 pounds Beef Chuck roast (grass fed, antibiotic and hormone free) I get it at my local Good Food Store and I hear Safeway is now carrying organic Beef.
  • 2 medium onions, sliced
  • 2 cups organic beef or chicken stock, (home made preferred)
  • 5 tablespoons chile powder
  • 3 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon each cumin, garlic powder, paprika, powdered oregano,
  • 2 ½ teaspoons Celtic sea salt
  • 1 or 2 small cans green chiles
  • 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder and enough water to make a paste
  • 1 package sprouted corn tortillas ( I use Food for Life brand)
  • 3 or more tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Lard for tortillas

Toppings: Shredded raw cheese (not processed cheese, that stuff will kill ya and make you fat), lettuce, tomato, avocado, salsa, sour cream, cortido

Place beef and onion in a slow cooker. Combine stock and seasonings in a small bowl. Pour over beef and onion. Cook on low for 6 – 8 hours. Remove largest pieces of meat to bowl or cutting board and shred with two forks. Add Arrowroot paste to the leftover juices at the bottom of the slow cooker. Once thick, stir in the meat and chiles. While the meat is cooking, prepare tortillas. Brush both sides with Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Lard and bake in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes until crisp@ 350.
Place the meat on top of the tortillas and top with desired toppings. Then Pig Out!! :)

It's Awesome and Good for you! I promise
