Tostada Ingredients

Method

Tostada Preparation

  1. 1

    Preparing the Corn Tortillas

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, gently place the corn tortillas in the oil, frying them until they are crispy and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the tortillas and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season lightly with salt while they are still hot.

  2. 2

    Braised Short Ribs

    If you haven't already prepared the braised short ribs, season them with salt and pepper, then sear in a hot skillet until browned on all sides. Add your choice of braising liquid (like beef broth, red wine, and aromatics) and simmer for 2-3 hours until tender. Shred the meat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tostadas

    On each crispy tortilla, layer approximately 1/4 cup of the braised short ribs, followed by a few tablespoons of pickled onions. Sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese over the top and finish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

  4. 4

    Serving

    Serve the tostadas immediately while they are still crispy. Enjoy!
