Thanks Soitza, your way sounds delish. I’ve had tostadas made by my friends that were born and raised in Mexico and they had all sorts of toppings…including ground meat. w-

Mexican tostadas never, never and never used ground meat only shredded beef, chicken or pork, fried beans, finely shredded iceberg lettuce, sour cream, sliced cucumbers and radishes, Cotija cheese, pickled chiles gueros and the tostada sauce, special tostada sauce that you serves hot by the side in a cup so, you can add little by little as you want. Keeping tostada crispy.

Hi John. I haven’t tried it, but my guess would be no. That they would become soggy when defrosting. w-

Have your mise en place, pay full attention to what your doing, including the minutes it takes for the oil to come to temperature, and open the window/ door for ventilation. Have your tongs ready, only put the tortillas into the oil with the tongs, and take them out with the tongs, of course. . Have a plate w a paper towel ready to place the fried tortillas on. I use ‘Bueno Premium Stone Ground’ yellow corn tortillas. Thin tortillas won’t have as much strength to hold toppings without breaking. The best toppings– homemade ‘refried’ pinto beans, diced tomato, diced onion, and diced New Mexico green chiles, plus some shredded cheddar., and a sprinkle of salt. NM green chiles might be found in the freezer section at the grocery store, depending where you live. Canned green chiles are not really close.. Mix the veggies into a pico de gallo to put on top of the beans and cheese, which go on top of the fried corn tortilla (tostada)
I let the oil get to just about smoking- safflower or peanut oil (Lou Ana)- or, actually smoking a tad.
The tortillas fry FAST, get really crispy, and don’t darken too much. Sometimes the tortillas develop bubbles- I don’t know why, but the missionfoodservice.com website they say if the tortillas are too cold they will get bubbles when you fry them, but I think it may be because the tortillas are not super freshly made, or maybe because they are freshly made, not sure. Anyway, if the oil is not blazing hot the tortillas will be chewy, and will absorb too much oil. And I think they make taco shapers, so you do not have to mess around w a half-fried tostada in >300 degree oil, if you get burned on the thin skin of your hand badly, you might end up in the hospital.
Tostadas are my favorite dinner. Even if I have to cook the beans from dry in the pressure-cooker, the whole thing doesn’t take that long. It is somewhat messy, but the effort is well worth it, because for your trouble you actually end up with a DELICIOUS meal on one plate. Veggies/green (and hopefully spicy) from the chile/protein/fiber/fat, all together. You don’t have to make anything else, and you won’t waste your time w some new recipe that takes >1 hour and doesn’t taste very good, after all. Maybe some sherbert for dessert, yum.
I don’t worry about the calories from frying the tostadas because I do fry them in HOT oil, so they absorb less oil.
I’m ~ 5’5″ and #134, in my 5th decade of life, and have eaten this dinner many times. So don’t worry about getting fat! Just take that dog for a walk!:)
