Notes
- How to Store: To store leftovers, keep the baked tostadas and salad separate. Store the crispy tortillas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The salad, dressed with the cilantro-lime dressing, should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. If you plan to meal prep, store the dressing separately and toss it with the salad just before serving to keep the tostadas crisp.
