Homemade Tostadas
Spring is finally in the air, warmer weather, blue skies, sunshine and best of all, friend and family get-togethers. One of our favorite spring-time celebrations is Cinco de Mayo and one of my favorite Mexican foods is Tostadas.
Tostadas topped with Pulled Pork, beans, avocados and all the fixings.
I can always count on shopping at my local Safeway store to grab all the necessary ingredients to make any meal, including these delicious Pulled Pork Tostadas. Fresh produce and meat make the dish irresistible and easy to assemble. I never leave the store without checking my Safeway Just 4 U app with loads of savings on all the items I shop for regularly. I love the ease of browsing the weekly ad and the savings right at my fingertips.

Tortilla Land tortillas make the best tortilla chips, perfect for guacamole dipping.
Pork is such a versatile meat to cook with and can be used in a variety of ways. I love using my Instant Pot to make pulled pork, it is an easy hands off method to get the best results. A simple rub, pop into Instant Pot and you’ll be ready for your tostadas!
If you do not have an Instant Pot, you can achieve the same pulled pork results by slow roasting in the oven, find the details in the notes at the bottom of the recipe.
Toppings
Besides a delicious fried corn shell and succulant pork, the toppings are just as important.
tomatoes
hot sauce
cilantro (I like to use flat leaf parsley)
lettuce
avocado
lime
guacamole: simple guacamole includes: avocados, salt, garlic, lime and a hint of cilantro or parley
Cotija cheese: a firm white cheese that is dry and salty, crumbles perfectly (of your favorite cheese – cheddar and queso also are good options)

Notes
*If you do not have toum, add in 2 tsp garlic powder to your spice mixture and rub pork loin with 2 tbsp olive oil.
*If you do not have an Instant Pot, you may cook your pork in the oven. Place in a roasting pan after seasoning as specified, add 2 cups water or broth and cover with foil. Roast in oven for 2-3 hours at 300 degrees. Pork should come out tender and able to shred.
