Chef's Notes
Do not drain the fat from the ground beef after browning; that rendered goodness is what carries the taco seasoning through the meat and keeps every bite succulent.
Pro Tip
Crush your bottom tostadas just enough to create a solid bed, but save the most structurally sound shards for the crown of the salad so your guests get maximum crunch.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to let the taco seasoning simmer down with the water will leave you with a gritty, powdery coating of raw spices that sticks to the roof of your mouth like edible sand.
