Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Refried beans
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sliced radishes
- 0.5 cup Crumbled queso fresco
- 0.5 cup Mexican crema
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 Lime wedges
Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil reaches about 350°F (180°C), fry the corn tortillas, one at a time, until golden and crispy on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Drain them on paper towels and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the refried beans. Season the beans with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine. Once heated through, remove from heat.
Spread about 1/4 cup of refried beans onto each crispy tostada shell.
Top the beans with a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by a couple of tablespoons of diced tomatoes, some sliced radishes, and a sprinkle of crumbled queso fresco.
Drizzle Mexican crema over the tops of the tostadas and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for added zest. Enjoy immediately for the best crunch!
