Instructions
Baked Tostada Shells
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the tortillas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Lightly brush or spray both sides of the tortillas with oil.
- Sprinkle tortillas with salt, if using.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges start to brown.
Fried Tostada Shells
- Line a tray with a paper towel, and set aside.
- Add the oil to a cast iron pan until it’s about 1/2 inch deep. Heat on medium-high until the oil reaches 350°F.
- Add a corn tortilla to the hot oil.
- Cook until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Using tongs or a slotted spoon transfer tostadas to drain on paper towel lined tray and sprinkle lightly with salt, if desired. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Notes
- Storage
- Storage
- Let the tostada shells cool completely to room temperature before placing them in storage. This will prevent condensation from building up and making them stale.
- Homemade corn tortilla shells will keep well in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 5 days.
- Air fryer tostada shells: Air fry lightly oiled tortillas at 350°F in a single layer until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Check on them as they cook to ensure they do not over cook.
