One of our favorites! We tried it last time with Whole Grain Taco Shells in stead of a tostada shell. You couldn't fit as much filling into the shell but is was easier to eat.

We really like this recipe! As usual after making these as directed, the next time I made these, I substituted fish sticks for the tilapia fillets, sprayed oil onto them, added a good dusting of chili powder, garlic salt, and pepper and baked them @ 425 degrees until crisp, about 7 minutes. Used pre-made tostadas instead of the corn tortillas as they are already made for you. I didn't have coleslaw mix, so I thinly sliced a half of a small head of cabbage. I didn't rinse my black beans as they were flavored with jalapeno peppers. This has been added to our once a month eats.

Fast & easy-especially when you have ready-made tostada shells on hand! Might give it a try on regular corn tortillas.

The whole family loves this. We've also used tortillas and hard taco shells. Made it many times!

turned out great! I wasn't sure if I was supposed to use the hard or soft tortillas so I used the hard corn tortillas and they were great.
