Garnish: cilantro sprigs Preheat oven to 350F. In 10-inch skillet heat oil over medium-high heat; add onion, garlic, and jalapeno (or poblano) pepper and saute until onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add beef, kidney beans, canned tomatoes with reserved liquid, broth, and seasonings. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer until liquid is reduced and mixture thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Place tostada shells on nonstick baking sheet and bake until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to serving plate. Spread half of meat mixture over each shell; sprinkle each with half of cheese, then top each with half of shredded lettuce and chopped fresh tomato. Serve with sour cream garnished with cilantro.
