Heat lard in a skillet and fry processed, seasoned beans over low heat for about 7-8 minutes or until warmed through and creamy looking. Fry ground beef with remaining seasonings until cooked through. Assemble tostadas: lay out cabbage leaves (you need firm leaves). Spread with the refried beans, then the meat, onion, lettuce, tomato then top with the cheese. This makes 8 large tostadas -you can also skip the leaves and add a layer of sour cream, guacamole and salsa to make a layer dip that's great with pork rinds.

Yes | Rating: 8    Pros: very pretty and yummy Cons: not sure if we were supposed to eat the red cabbage part. Was very good we did not eat the cabbage was kinda hard to eat. I will put the beef layer first next time not the beans. It was so pretty to look at almost a shame to eat it. Served with Daikon french fries.

Cons: Nothing I made this for my whole family, and they all wanted seconds. However, instead of red cabbage I fried low carb tortillas and used refried black beans and also mexican blend cheese.
