- Add on your preferred amount of cooked taco meat, and then the tostada.

Notes
GLUTEN-FREE SUBSTITUTIONS: For those of you who need it, I always like to talk about substitutions to make this meal gluten-free. For this one, the substitution is simple, but the execution is more difficult. Instead of flour tortillas, you will need GF tortillas. My wife loves the Siete Brand, but they aren’t big enough and pliable enough. I ended up making hers into a Mexican pizza, and she loved it.
Layering Process: Lightly fried tortilla, taco sauce, meat, lightly fried tortilla, cheese, tomato, lettuce, crema.) Broil quickly before adding the last three ingredients to get the cheese all melty!
