Chef's Notes

*For quickest assembly, use tortilla shells already fried at the grocery store.
Promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days for ingredients, up to 8 hours for assembled tostada.
Nutritional values are approximate and based on 1 tostada.

Amber ★ 5.0/5

I recently made these and couldn’t believe I never had before! I like putting shredded meat on the beans, but it’s such a tasty budget meal even without the meat. It’s now in the regular rotation!

Simple and good. I served with some Mexican Crema instead of sour cream and it was a nice condiment too. Thanks for sharing.
