Fried Tostada Shells are a simple and classic way to make a base for tostadas or taco salads.
Cook Time: 2 minutes
Total Time: 2 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup peanut oil
- 4-6 6-inch corn or flour tortillas
Preparation:
Place oil in large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat until a drop of water placed carefully in the oil sizzles.
Add tortillas, one at a time, pushing down gently into the oil with tongs. Cook until browned on one side, about 1 minute, then turn and cook on the second side until browned and crisp, about 1 minute longer.
Drain on paper towels and keep warm in 250 degrees F oven until ready to assemble taco salads or tostadas.
