Tostadas Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Fry the corn tortillas one at a time until they are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Tostadas

    Spread a layer of refried beans on each crispy tortilla. Top with shredded pork and a generous spoonful of chili con carne.

  3. 3

    Add Fresh Toppings

    Top the assembled tostadas with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and your choice of red or green chili.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the tostadas immediately, allowing each person to enjoy them while they are crispy.
