It’s no surprise that I love tacos. But I have a confession. I’ve been cheating on tacos with tostadas! The last year my love for tostadas has grown so much. I can’t tell you how much I love those crispy flat tortillas!! There have been times I felt like I was posting at least one tostada picture a week on my social media.
I thought I’d share some of my favorites on my blog. It’s super simple to put together a delicious tostadas dinner. I figured I’d share some tips!
First you need to start out with a crispy tostada shell. I’ve only ever seen corn tostadas but if you see flour tostadas give them a go! You next need to add a delicious protein. This can be steak, chicken, shrimp or to keep it vegetarian you can add beans or even eggs. Next is your choice of delicious toppings. You can add onions, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeños, avocado, sour cream, cheese, cheese sauce, guacamole or salsa. Breakfast tostadas are also a great idea. Just add some eggs and chorizo, sausage or bacon and your toppings and you have successfully made a breakfast tostada! Or be like me and just eat a regular tostada for breakfast. No eggs required!! Ha, Ha!
I try and keep tostadas on hand because they have a long shelf life and it’s a great way to throw together a quick dinner. Here are 4 of my tostadas below with the ingridents. My favorites are #3 and #4 just because I love steak!! Check them out! Leave your favorite in the comments! Each of these recipes will make 2 tostadas and you can obviously use more or less of the toppings to your likings. Enjoy!
