2. Beans. Place beans in small pot and add cream cheese. If the beans are too thick, add a little milk. Warm over medium-to-low heat.
3. Beef. While beans are warming, fix ground beef with taco seasoning according to directions on taco seasoning pack. 
4. Spread beans on top of tostada shell, top with seasoned ground beef and shredded cheddar cheese. Add salt and pepper.

Variations:
Add chopped green pepper to ground beef while browning.
Add a small layer of sour cream on beans before topping with seasoned ground beef.
