Method

Preparation of Tostaditos

  1. 1

    Fry Corn Tortillas

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the corn tortillas one at a time and fry until they are crispy and golden, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

  2. 2

    Melt Cheese

    Once the tortilla chips are fried, return them to the skillet (or a baking sheet if you prefer). Evenly distribute the shredded cheese on top of the hot tortillas. Allow the cheese to melt over low heat for about 2-3 minutes, or place under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until bubbly.

Assemble Tostaditos

  1. 3

    Add Refried Beans

    Spread a thin layer of refried beans on each melted cheese tortilla while still warm.

  2. 4

    Add Meat

    Top the refried beans with either cooked ground beef or shredded chicken, distributing it evenly across the tortillas.

  3. 5

    Add Fresh Ingredients

    Sprinkle chopped lettuce on top of the meat, followed by a generous dollop of guacamole. Add sour cream and salsa as desired.
