The Best 5-Minute Tostada

It’s HOT outside and that means that keeping the oven off becomes a priority to keep the house cool and to keep the AC from working overtime. On hot summer days, I like to lean into no-cook meals that are still warm and delicious. This really is the best 5-minute tostada and is sure to make everyone in the house happy this summer…or anytime of year.

Cue the Busy Summer Schedule

We are a busy family at all times of the year, but the summer takes on a whole new level of busyness. With the kids home 24/7, my managerial skills really have to show up. We are out the door early for swim practice and then there are tasks all day. Not to mention, I have to find a few hours each day to work.

For all the parents who are home this summer, you know what I mean—there are more dishes, more laundry, more of a mess, more shoes everywhere, wet towels that just stay wet crumbled on the floor, and the lights are on IN EVERY ROOM…dang kids, turn off the lights.

It’s these busy summer days that sometimes I need a shortcut lunch. You can only eat so many sandwiches. the best 5-minute tostada is really the best. It actually takes me back to my Taco Bell days…I loved a warm TB tostada.
