Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray two large baking sheets with cooking spray.
  2. Lightly brush or spray both sides of the tortillas with olive oil or cooking spray and place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Lightly season with salt.
  3. Bake for 5 minutes, flip them over, and bake for another 4-5 minutes until the tortillas are crispy like a tortilla chip.
  4. Remove from the oven and serve with toppings such as refried beans, shredded cheese, chicken tinga, carnitas, or ground beef.

Notes

  • Air fryer instructions: Place 1-2 corn tortillas in the air fryer basket and put a small ramekin dish (or other heat-safe dish, like a coffee mug) on top to keep them in place. Air fry at 390℉ for 3-4 minutes, adjusting the tortilla halfway through so that the parts underneath the ramekins are also air-fried.
  • Keep a close eye. Tostadas can go from undercooked to burnt very quickly! So keep an eye on them while in the oven or air fryer.
  • Batch it. These tostada shells are super easy to batch. Just make your desired amount and then store them in a cool, dry place for 1-2 weeks.
  • Use different tortillas. Tostada shells are traditionally made with corn tortillas, but you can use flour tortillas if you prefer. Just note it will have a fluffier texture and won’t be as crispy.
