Default Tostadas for dinner.

Hey, at least it's food related! Made with refried beans, carne molida,
sharp cheddar, pico de gallo, iceberg lettuce and black olives. Yum!

I just don't care for potatoes cooked in Tex-Mex meat preparations.
Don't like breakfast burritos for the same reason. I've tried but I
just don't like the mouth feel.
I'll just have the beans on the tostada.

Where did I say potatoes? I've never seen a potato tostada.

it's my understanding that molida is traditionally made with potatoes
in the meat mixture

Okay, thanks, Janet! I was unfamiliary with the term 'molida'. I can
say I'm not particularly fond of potatoes in Tex-Mex stuff like
breakfast burritos, either. But then my only encounter with them has
been frozen breakfast burritos and really, one try, no thanks!

I saw a show on PBS about making tostadas the other day. I can't
remember her name but she used a comal drizzled with oil to heat the
corn tortillas to a crisp and then topped them with some different tasty
toppings. Trust me, there wasn't any cheddar cheese involved. Crumbled
Oaxaca and Queso Blanco (or was it Queso Fresco?) were the Mexican
melting cheeses. I do believe there was simmered, shredded seasoned
beef, shredded lettuce and maybe olives involved.

My take-away from it: tostadas are similar to crisp corn tacos, except
they're flat.

Exactly. And no potatoes. Carne molida is simply seasoned ground beef.

Nobody here eats carne molida and nobody here has ever even heard of
it. You won't see it on any restaurant menus here.

You will here!

http://www.elantojo.com/index.php

Alas the meat choices are no longer listed and the Grill (not where I go)
has changed the wording to ground beef,

I do see that the Puerto Rican style has potatoes and green olives. Mine
does not.

https://www.modernmami.com/latino-la...d-beef-recipe/

I also see recipes for Carne Molida Con Papas which is ground beef with
potatoes.

This place serves Carne Molida tacos. No potato.

And here's a recipe for enchiladas:

Funny how that works. When you say "we don't have that here/nobody
eats that" and somebody uses restaurant menus to disprove it, you
still deny it somehow.

Yet we're supposed to listen to you when you use restaurant menus to
prove it.

Yeah, you walked right into that, Bolie Juve.

Actually almost everyone here eats carne molida (vegetrarians being the
exception). It actually means ground (or minced) beef. Although that
probably isn't what she meant. Probably some made up definition instead.

Here it's more commonly picadillo sencillo, but also the other since
we have Mexicans from all over.

Ouch. Remind me to change my Message-ID's when I make up new
