I'm not entirely sure what the OP for this recipe was on, but it wasn't doing things right proportionally. It should be noted that I did make the meat filling using the recipe for the Taco Bell clone beef recipe (see profile as I made it at the same time as this). The filling total when proportioned out to what it was listed as didn't wrap up AND blew out (see second pic). When portioned out to not cause this is more like 1/6 of the filling. I do not expect the tostada used to remain crunchy when I defrost and reheat these.
Been looking forward to make this clone recipe since I had the real one at an anime con in Arizona called "UwUcon." Made 1 serving worth per the listed ingredients list. In the marinade I added a tablespoon of bourbon. Ran the marinade too long, probably should have been no more than an hour. Used "toast bread" from a local Asian market and the butteryness of it overpowered the meat despite onions and garlic from the marinade being cooked alongside it. Definitely use milk bread if possible. But the slices I used were too small (size plus thickness) and out of half a pound of marinaded beef I have 4 sandwiches potentially. The bread will 100% determine how much of the meat is used.
I added some cubed portobello mushrooms. Set the beef in at 1 pound chunks. May have been better to add them in to the crockpot as 10 meatballs? Worth looking into. The flavor for this one is 100% there but it felt like the cheese sauce curdled with the acidity that was there with the rest of the meal (tomato sauce and turkey pepperonis in particular). Definitely need some minor refinements.
Easy to cook. Thought that the mayo amount was a but low and added more... to find out that it was that amount for a reason. When pressed it leaked mayo-tuna liquid all over my counter. There is some opportunity for some kind of hot sauce or spice seasonings to make it a spicy tuna. Easily repeatable.
