This is an easy tostada recipe.

Ingredients

4 Corn tortillas

3 cups Shredded romaine lettuce, washed and drained

1 1/2 cups Diced cooked chicken or turkey

1 cup Grated queso fresco or monterey Jack cheese

1 cup Cooked black beans

1 Small red or yellow bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces

3/4 cup Guacamole

Vegetable oil for cooking

Preparation

Heat 3/4 inch vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

Add 1 tortilla at a time and fry, until crisp, about 30 seconds each side.

Shake off excess oil and drain on paper towels.

Combine lettuce, chicken or turkey, cheese, beans and bell pepper in a bowl.

Toss with guacamole or other dressing if desired.

Place tortillas on plates and top with meat mixture. Serve immediately.

Cook's Notes

I top my tostadas with salsa and sour cream. I like to toss the vegetables in a lime vinaigrette.
