    Pulled Pork Tostadas

    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 are the perfect, authentic meal for Cinco de Mayo, crispy shell, shredded meat and topped with all the delicious veggies, cheese and sauces. This year I made the most delicious Pulled Pork Tostadas using TortillaLand© Corn Tortillas. TortillaLand© Corn Tortillas are fresh corn tortillas found in the refrigerator section of your local Safeway store. These tortillas are by far the freshest and most authentic I have ever used. With only 5 simple ingredients, I know my family is getting all the flavor without the additives.

    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.

    Make this Cinco de Mayo extra special this year, be the hero and go one step further, fry some extra TortillaLand© Corn Tortillas and make your own homemade chips! Nothing goes better with guacamole. Simply cut your corn tortillas into 8 even triangles and fry for a quick few seconds and salt.

    Pulled Pork

    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!

    Spice Rub

    • garlic
    • kosher salt
    • chili powder
    • cumin
    • toum garlic sauce *
    • onions

    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)

    As always, I love seeing your creations. Please leave a review or share your dish with me on social media which lets me know what is working for you! You can find me on Facebook,  Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest. For more delicious recipes to your inbox, sign up for my newsletter!

    4. Rub pork loin with prepared toum spread.*

    *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.
