Ingredients

Servings
  • 5-6 corn tortillas
  • olive oil
  • salt optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. Spread out the corn tortillas on a baking sheet.  Drizzle some oil across the tortillas and use your fingers to spread it around, creating a thin layer.  Do the same on the second side.  I usually eyeball the amount of oil, but a heaping teaspoon is usually enough to coat both sides of all six tortillas. 
  3. Bake the first side in the oven for 4 minutes.  Flip the tortillas and bake for an additional 4 minutes or until they are turning golden brown.   If using thicker tortillas they will probably need to bake for an additional 1-2 minutes per side. 
  4. Serve immediately. 

Notes

  • When possible, try to use thin tortillas for baked tostadas.   Sometimes you'll find tortillas labeled "for frying" and these are a good option as they are typically thinner and have less moisture.  You can still get a good result with thicker tortillas but they might need a longer baking time. 
  • You could also use a pastry brush to spread the oil around.
