Sausage Tostada Grande
from Campbell's Kitchen

Prep Time: 20 min.
Bake Time: 30 min.

1/2 pound Italian pork sausage, casing removed
1 can (about 14.5 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, drained and cut up
3/4 cup Pace® Picante Sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 1 cup)
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 medium tomato, chopped (about 1 cup)
Sliced pitted ripe olives

1. Cook the sausage in a 10-inch skillet until it's well browned,
stirring often to break up the meat. Pour off any fat.

2. Stir the canned tomatoes, picante sauce and cumin in the skillet
and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes or
until the sausage is cooked through.

3. Place the tortillas on a 14-inch pizza pan or large baking sheet,
overlapping to form a 14-inch round. Spread the sausage mixture over
the tortillas to within 1/2-inch of the edge. Bake at 350°F. for 25 minutes.

4. Top the sausage mixture with the cheese. Bake for 5 minutes or until
the cheese is melted. Top with the lettuce, chopped tomato and olives.
Cut the tostada into *8* wedges. Serve with additional picante sauce, if
desired.

Makes: 4 servings (2 wedges each).

Kitchen Clip Fresh spices make a huge difference in recipes, so if
you can't remember when you bought your jar of cumin, it might be best
to get a new one. On the lid of new spices, write the month and year so
you can keep track of their shelf life.
