Tostadas really bring together the best of Mexican food. The crunchy tortilla base is small and easy to handle with your hands, which reminds us of delicious and snackable tacos.
But its toppings are usually elaborate and copious, which is reminiscent of a burrito. What we’re saying is, tostadas are the perfect balance and there’s no reason you shouldn’t love them and eat them as much as possible. You can enjoy pulled pork, tinga chicken, shrimp ceviche, chorizo, refried black beans, even veggie-only options if you look ahead for more than 15 scrumptious recipes. Once you’ve picked your menu for the night, find a tequila cocktail to pair it with.
