This isn't really a recipe, but it is really delicious. We eat this...more regularly than I'd like to admit. Still, it's easy, cheap, and we nearly always have all the ingredients on hand!
Basic Version:
*Corn Tortillas
*Vegetable Oil (for frying tortillas)
*Refried Beans
*Chopped/Shredded Lettuce (preferably not iceberg but anything else works fine)
*Salsa (We like Herdez) or at the very least some good hot sauce (Valentina)
*Corn
*Green Chiles (canned are fine)
Deluxe Version:
same as above, but add the following ingredients if you have cash to spare! :)
*Shredded Cheddar Cheese
*Non-fat plain yogurt, or sour cream (you really can't tell the difference).
*Shredded grilled or poached chicken
*Fresh tomatoes
Fry the tortillas in oil until just crisp. They should be flat and round. If you like them soft, don't fry them as long! Let tortillas drain on paper towels until ready to eat. Pile tostadas with beans and then add whatever other ingredients you have on hand. Then sit down and eat. These are very filling (more than you might think) and delectable. If you're on the deluxe budget, you could serve some calabacitas and watermelon with this. Otherwise, everything you need is piled on top. :) We love this dinner and hope you will too!
