Tostada Base

Method

Tostada Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Fry the Tortillas

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot. Carefully add the corn tortillas, one at a time, frying them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Shrimp Filling Preparation

  1. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the shrimp mixture and cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Tostadas

    On each crispy tostada, layer the cooked shrimp, followed by shredded cabbage, a dollop of sour cream, chopped cilantro, and diced avocado. Top with sliced jalapeños to taste. Serve immediately.
