We can travel the world through food and today we are preparing a delicious snack that is a popular street food in Mexico, Central America and South America. A tostada is a crispy tortilla typically made out of corn, however, it can also be made with wheat tortillas. Try making your own Whole Wheat Tortillas using our Project CHEF recipe. You can use a variety of different toppings to build your tostada. Some of our favourites are our Black Bean Dip, fresh Tomato Salsa and of course, Guacamole. Check out our video with the whole Project CHEF team teaching you how to make this these tasty tostadas.

SKILLS

STEP-BY-STEP – CRISPY TOSTADAS!

STEP 1
Make your tostadas first as they take the longest to cook. Check out our video on how to turn a tortilla into a crispy tostada.

STEP 2
Prepare your dips ahead of time. You can even make the Tomato Salsa & Black Bean Dip the day ahead, as they will taste better as they develop flavour over time in the fridge. The Guacamole is best made fresh to eat straight away. Crumble some Feta cheese ready for garnish.
