ingredients
1 pound hamburger
1 package taco seasoning mix
6 small flour tortillas
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 tomato, diced
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup sliced green olives
6 ounces sliced Monterey Jack cheese, cut into strips
3 cups shredded lettuce
sour cream
taco sauce
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare hamburger with taco seasoning mix, according to package directions.
Cut tortillas into tree shapes. With a spoon, spread 1/3 cup hamburger mix evenly over each tortilla. Leave a 1/2 inch border of tortilla all the way around each tostada.
Use green pepper, tomatoes, and olives to decorate tostadas like Christmas trees. Arrange the cheese on each tostada in a zigzag pattern to make a garland. Use a spatula to place tosadas on a baking sheet.
Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve each tostada with 1/2 cup of shredded lettuce (spread around the base of the tree as a skirt), and sour cream and taco sauce to taste.

I also crisped the tortillas and served these as appetizers at our small Christmas party this year. They were very cute and a hit with everyone!

The only change I made was to crisp the tortillas first before topping with the remaining ingredients. I just put them in the oven for 3-4 minutes until they were toasty, then finished with the recipe. That way they held up better with the fillings. Super easy and cute recipe! And tasty!
