Tostada Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Fry the Tortillas

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry each corn tortilla until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Tostadas

    Spread a layer of refried beans on each crispy tortilla. Top with shredded cheese and chopped green chilies.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled tostadas on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Remove from the oven and garnish with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños as desired. Season with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Tostada Chile Con Queso!
