👨‍🍳 Cooking Instructions

Full recipe instructions for preparing Tostadas

🔥 Prep

  • Measure out 200 g refried beans.
  • Measure 2 cups lettuce and tear or shred into bite‑sized pieces.
  • Measure 1 cup cheese (shredded or crumbled) and set aside.
  • Measure 0.5 cup salsa.
  • Ensure the 8 corn tortillas are ready for frying.

🔥 Cook

  • 1. Heat 1–2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  • 2. Place one corn tortilla in the skillet and fry for approximately 30 seconds per side, until golden brown and crisp; repeat with the remaining tortillas, transferring each to a paper towel–lined plate to drain.
  • 3. While the tortillas are still warm, spread about 2 tablespoons of the refried beans evenly over each tortilla.
  • 4. Top the beans with a generous handful of the shredded lettuce, then sprinkle with cheese, and finish with a drizzle of salsa.
  • 5. Serve immediately while the tortillas are crisp.

🔥 Serve

  • Arrange the topped tostadas on a platter and serve with lime wedges.
  • Accompany with extra salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side if desired.
