What Exactly Is a Tostada?
A tostada (pronounced tuh-staa-duh) is a flat, crunchy tortilla piled high with tantalizing taco toppings. The word “tostada” translates to “toasted” and refers to the crispy tortilla that’s either toasted or deep-fried before being adorned with your favorite toppings.
Tostadas are beloved in Mexico and other Latin American regions, where they’re used as a base for various dishes. In Mexico, tostadas are often served with fresh proteins or enjoyed as snacks or sides to complement dishes like pozole or soup, especially Chicken Tortilla Soup.
