Tostadas ......Reminds me of Abuela

Everytime I see or hear about Tostadas it reminds me of my abuelita. No matter how I try I will never makes one good as hers. One reason is because her tortillas were always fresh never bought.

You look at the picture above and ask. What is that? I tell you that it is a Tostada. Which is a fried corn tortilla . These were actually the Mexican Doritos before they became mass produced. I Prefer my Doritos with hot sauce tossed in a bag and then put in a bowl.

           Traditionally in Mexican cuisine Tostadas are topped with sour cream, cabbage, frijoles (refried beans), shredded beef or shredded chicken, cheese, and tomato. Think of the fried tortilla as a blank canvas. You can top it off with what ever your appetite calls for. I usually stick with the traditional way. Good thing is that it is inexpensive, also ended up feeding a family of 3 with one serving left over for only 15 dollars. We also used chicken instead of beef which makes a big difference with price.

This is what my Tostadas look like how do yours look like ????
