What are tostadas?

So, in case you are unfamiliar with what tostadas are, they are corn tortillas that have been toasted or deep fried and are generally eaten topped with lots of yummy ingredients. You can buy packages of tostadas at pretty much any grocery store – we usually get ours from Aldi or Walmart.

Here’s what we use for our easy tostadas:

• 1 package of tostadas
• 1 can of refried beans
• chopped lettuce
• shredded chicken (we like to use leftovers from a rotisserie chicken)
• shredded mozzarella cheese
• salsa
• sour cream or Mexican crema

You can of course add any other toppings that your heart desires! Avocado, cilantro, chopped onion, or even a bit of lime juice would all be nice additions if you have them.

Looks easy right?! Try this easy tostada recipe for yourself and let me know if you like it!
