👨🍳 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.
