Tostados with Pork


Pina Colada Mini-Cheesecakes

Tostados with Pork is easy enough for kids to fix---and fun to eat! Pork is the meat of choice in Mexican dishes, so lean ground pork is perfect for this savory filling that makes a great tostado-topper, a taco-filler or as a filling for enchiladas.

For a unique side, serve with Three-Pepper Slaw with Chili Dressing featuring colorful bell peppers and jicama tossed in a spicy dressing flavored with chipotle chilies and a touch of honey.

And for dessert, offer scrumptious, yet simple to prepare, Pina Colada Mini-Cheesecakes
