c) Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat.
d) Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

b) Season with salt and bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden and crispy, 4-6 mins. TIP: Tostada means 'toasted', so make sure they're crispy!
c) Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh out onto a board, face-down. Slice into 1cm thick slices.
a) Transfer the tostadas to your plates.
b) Top with spoonfuls of the beef and bean mixture - as much as you'd like.
c) Scatter over the cheese and spoon on a dollop of soured cream. Top with slices of avocado to finish. TIP: Tostadas are best enjoyed eaten by hand - get stuck in!
