About Crispy tostada shells
Crispy tostada shells are a staple in Mexican cuisine, offering a crunchy base for a variety of flavorful toppings. Traditionally made from corn tortillas, they are fried or baked until golden and crisp. Corn, the primary ingredient, is naturally gluten-free and provides fiber and essential nutrients like potassium and magnesium. However, the preparation method plays a key role in their nutritional profile. Fried tostada shells can be higher in saturated fat and calories, while baked versions are lighter and lower in fat. Often enjoyed with beans, vegetables, lean proteins, and fresh salsas, tostada shells can be part of a balanced meal. Their versatility and satisfying crunch make them a popular choice for tacos, salads, or creative appetizers. For a healthier option, choose baked tostadas and pair them with nutrient-rich toppings to maximize flavor and nutrition.
