What are tostadas?
In case you’ve never heard of it, tostadas are fried flour tortillas. The idea is that you just eat them out of your hand. Just like a pizza, actually. They are also a bit like mini pizzas, but Mexican food style (don’t tell the Italians I said that..).
They also look a bit like the Big Mac wraps. Have you ever had those? They are also mini wraps that you top with ground beef, toppings and bake. They are mega delicious and trending on social media for a reason.

These are perfect for dinner because they are also incredibly quick to prepare. They can be on the table in half an hour. As well as ground beef and seasoning, they can be topped with delicious vegetables such as peppers, tomatoes and corn. After baking, top with avocado, lettuce and sour cream to taste.
