Notes
- Make ahead of time. We like to make our tostada shells fresh, but you can make them up to 24 hours in advance. Store them in a resealable plastic bag to keep them crunchy until serving.
- Store. Un-topped tostada shells can be kept in a bag or container at room temperature for 5-7 days. Topped tostadas. The beans can stay on, but remove as much of the lettuce and other toppings as you can. Store in a single layer in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat and then add toppings.
- Tostada bar. This is a great meal idea to serve a crowd. Lay out all your favorite tostada toppings and fried tostada shells and let everyone assemble their own.
- Prepare the beans ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
- Warm them up right before serving on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding additional milk, if needed, to make them smooth again.
