Bring a bit of island life into your life, with these messy but perfect tostadas. Coffee is one of the great treats in Hawaii (trust us, its delicious there) and the coffee rub adds earthy warm notes to the meaty ground pork. Sweet pineapple and BBQ sauce bring sticky delight, as does the ginger garlic sauce. All brought together, these tostadas call forth visions of surf and sun. Waving palm trees. Hours on the beach with nothing but a good book and a cold drink. We'll be right back; we have some plane tickets to book. Tip: Tostadas are a delicious, but messy treat. For this recipe, they can easily be converted to tacos. Simply warm tortillas in oven for 1-2 minutes after completing steps.
