Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas (gluten-free certified)
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and ensure your corn tortillas are labeled gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep and hot enough that a small piece of tortilla dropped in sizzles immediately.
Using tongs, carefully place one corn tortilla at a time into the hot oil. Fry each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Once frying is complete, remove the tortilla from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.
While the tostadas are still hot, sprinkle a small pinch of salt on each side.
Allow tostadas to cool slightly and become even crispier before serving.
Serve the crispy tostadas as a base for toppings such as beans, avocado, shredded lettuce, cheese, salsa, or any of your favorite gluten-free toppings.
