Expert Tips
- Shred the lettuce, dice the tomato and shred the cheese; store them in separate plastic bags or small serving bowls in the refrigerator.
- To let each person build an individual tostada, set out additional toppings such as chopped red or green bell pepper, sliced ripe olives, sliced jalapeño peppers and light sour cream.
- Enjoy the tostadas with lime flavored sparkling water and end the meal with orange or lemon sorbet.
