Tostada Ingredients

Method

Tostada Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the corn tortillas one at a time, frying them until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    In the same skillet, add the ground beef (or shredded chicken/beef). Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tostadas

    Take a crispy tortilla and layer it with the cooked meat of your choice. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the tostadas immediately while they are still crispy. Enjoy with your favorite salsa or hot sauce!
