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.

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.

https://www.yelp.com/menu/barrios-fi...ne-molida-taco

And here's a recipe for enchiladas:

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.

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.

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.

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

Carne Molida
http://www.tastingpuertorico.com/carne-molida/
2 lbs ground beef
Adobo Seasoning (about 1Tbsp)
1 packet Sazón Seasoning
1 Tbsp tomato paste
2 Tbsp tomato sauce
2 Tbsp sofrito
8-10 Spanish salad olives
2 small potatoes (peeled & cubed) – optional
Directions
Season ground beef with adobo
Add ground beef to a large pan and begin to brown on low to medium
heat
Add the Sofrito, Sazon Seasoning, Tomato Paste, Tomato Sauce, Olives
and Potatoes and cook on low until the ground beef is cooked and
potatoes are tender

this is the way I have had it. I assumed that if Julie was making
Mexican seasoned ground beef she would have said so. Since she said
molida I thought of the above. I was surprised to see the recipe
indicate potatoes optional, I've never had it that way. Other recipes
do not say optional. Very much like Mexican Picadillo

Nope. If it has potatoes it is usually Con Papas.

Looking at that recipe, I'd say that the "2 small potatoes"
really would be optional and insignificant if added or not.
Probably just used as a filler.

The recipe site Julie posted is called
<http://www.tastingpuertorico.com/carne-molida/>

which just might mean it's a Puerto Rican version of Carne Molida?

I saw a Tex-Mex version without potatoes, and a "Mexican" version without
potatoes, until it's called "Carne Molida con Papas". Here in Chicago, I
have found ground beef filling with potatoes called "Picadillo". The
potatoes must be cubed small, and very well cooked. Delicious in a taco!
Maybe a bit sloppy for a tostada.

Is that what they call molida in Washington? Here it would be ground
beef tacos or tostada. I thought you were doing something with more
elaborate seasonings.

It sounds very bland. Commercial chili powder usually is. No reason to
call it molida as if you actually cooked something fancy.

She already said she was making tostadas which is basically a flat crisp
corn taco. I've never made molida but she definitely took the cheap
flat tasting option. Commercial chili powder is pretty darn bland. I'd
like a bit of bite in that ground meat concoction.

Most people who cook Mexican serve with a bottle of hot sauce, this
way each can add how much heat they like or add none.

True, Sheldon, but my point was commercial chili powder is bland. I
have jarred ground ancho (smoky and slightly hot) and chipotle (not hot
but tasty) on hand to add more *oomph* (not necessarily heat) to a
commercial chili powder blend. I always have hot sauce on hand in the
fridge.

You can season it however you want. It just means ground beef.

Yes. I don't like my meat to be spicy. I did put pico de gallo on top.
