About Tostados
Tostados are a traditional Mexican dish made by topping a crispy, flat tortilla with a variety of ingredients. Typically, they include refried beans, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and your choice of meat such as chicken, beef, or pork. They can also feature guacamole, sour cream, or salsa for added flavor. Originating from Mexican cuisine, tostados are celebrated for their versatility and vibrant combination of textures and flavors. From a nutritional perspective, they can provide protein from the beans and meat, fiber from the vegetables, and healthy fats from avocado, depending on the toppings used. However, tostados can also be high in calories, fat, and sodium due to fried tortillas, cheese, and processed toppings. Choosing baked tortillas and lean meats or plant-based proteins can make them a healthier option while preserving their satisfying taste.
