12 tostadas

I have been making this recipe since high school. When I was a poor college student this recipe helped me survive. With inflation costs, I am finding myself making this recipe a lot more. Luckily it is delicious and one of my favorites! It is also very balanced and nutritious.

This recipe is so versatile- you can use different proteins/meats, beans, vegetables, and toppings. You can make themed tostadas such as Korean (adding some slaw and Korean BBQ sauce to the meat), Mexican (classic beans, meat, salsa, etc.), etc. You can get creative! My favorite is just the classic one. I usually get full after eating 2-3 of these as they are very filling.

This recipe is so quick and easy you will be shocked

Tips

Greek yogurt is used in place of sour cream in this recipe but you can use sour cream if that is your preference or you already have it on hand
You can top with corn, salsa, avocado, Green goddess dressing, siracha, slaw, sauteed peppers, onions, etc. The toppings I used in this recipe are just a suggestion. You can add any toppings you want

So right about these! Everything is so expensive these days. And so right, mix it up, try chicken, fish, whatever protein one desires or go slightly vegetarian. And make some dessert tostada's, tostada s'mores, tostada churros, get creative! Easy, quick, simple. Thanks for sharing.
