Low Fat Chicken Tostadas

Tostadas are NOT made with flour tortillas. They are made with corn tortillas which are much healthier anyway. The corn tortillas are fried briefly in oil and then laid on a flat surface to harden flat. After cooling, the ingredients are then piled on.

Flour tortillas won’t harden unless they are cremated and they contain a lot of fat or lard. They’re used for burritos or tacos but corn tortillas can also be used for tacos.

While I agree that tostadas must have corn tortillas, the recipe I use for flour tortillas has only 2 teaspoons of oil for 8 tortillas.

I like tostadas made with fried flour tortillas. They are darn good. Try them sometime.
