Nothing beats crispy tostadas. They are one of our favorite mexican recipes for an easy weeknight meal.

What Are Tostadas?
Homemade tostadas are a family favorite. They’re like the Mexican version of fancy nachos! Picture a crispy tortilla base (corn tortillas work best!) topped with all sorts of yummy stuff! We like beans (can use canned refried beans), meat, veggies, cheese, pico de gallo, guac—whatever floats your boat! They’re like edible canvases for your wildest flavor creations. Just add your favorite toppings and you’re ready to go!
What Type of Meat Works Well On Tostadas?
Like all Mexican food, the fresh protein can make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your dish. Each tostada recipe is a little different but we have used any of the following when making your own:
- Ground beef
- Chicken breast
- Rotisserie chicken, shredded
- Shredded beef roast
- Shredded pork roast
Whether it’s your first time making tostadas or you’re an old pro, we know you’ll love these recipes. Each one uses simple ingredients you can find at your grocery store.
Serve them up with some mexican rice and some tres leches cake for dessert and you’ve got a meal to remember.
Let’s get cooking!
