Method
Preparing Tostada Shells
- 1
Frying the Tortillas
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add one corn tortilla at a time. Fry each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Seasoning
While the tortillas are still hot, sprinkle them lightly with salt to enhance the flavor. Let them cool slightly before assembling the tostadas.
