Add the cooked and drained potatoes to the sauce mixture and mix together before adjusting the final seasoning and texture.

Add salt to taste, and optionally a squirt of hot sauce for acidity and spice. Add more of the other seasonings if desired.

  • To make it more saucy, add a splash of water. To make it thicker, let it cook down a bit longer. For tostadas, thicker is usually better.

Take a tostada and add a thick layer of warm picadillo as the base. Top with your choice of crema or sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, pickled onions, and queso fresco. Enjoy.
