Tostada Ingredients

Method

Tostada Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the purple corn masa, water, and salt. Mix well until a dough forms. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.

  2. 2

    Shape the Tostadas

    Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each ball into a disc using a tortilla press or a rolling pin.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tostadas

    Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry each disc for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
