Taco night is always a win, but fully loaded, messy, extra-crispy open-faced tacos? That’s a home run. We swapped out the refried beans often used to top tostadas for the more kid-friendly PC® Plant Based Mexican Spice Sunflower Seed Dip, which has a nice smooth texture and notes of roasted garlic and lime. Buy store-bought tostada shells if you like, or follow our easy tip to make your own.
