Tostadas are Spanish appetizers which are prepared with deep-fried tortilla shells. I am not a big fan of deep-frying and here is a nice variation of the Tostadas – pan-fried.
This dish is really simple – the toppings are 3 ingredients – corn, black beans and tofu. Toss and cook them together with simple Taco seasoning – I love Penzey’s spices Taco seasoning. I also pan-fried the tofu to provide some crispness.
Just pan fry the tortillas to super crispy both sides on a cast iron flat pan with a drizzle of oil. Spread the toppings evenly. Top it off with dollops of fresh smashed guacamole and serve hot. Refer to Guacamole recipe here.
Pick them up and eat them like pizza slices. They are super yummy and very very kid friendly!
