A tostada is a crispy Mexican flatbread typically served with a variety of traditional Mexican toppings. You can easily make your own by frying small corn tortillas in oil until crispy. Each tostada is topped with chili con carne (chili), grated cheese, canned beans, tomato slices, roasted vegetables, and shredded lettuce. This is a great way to make an appetizer for several people when you only have a little chili left in the fridge. Drizzle with sour cream and enjoy!
