About Tostada de maiz

Tostada de Maíz is a crispy, flat corn tortilla that originates from Mexican cuisine and serves as a versatile base for various toppings. Made by baking or frying a tortilla until golden and crunchy, it offers a delightful texture and flavor. Traditionally, it is topped with beans, vegetables, shredded meat, cheese, salsa, and avocado, making it a nutritious dish when balanced with fresh, wholesome ingredients. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and provide energy through healthy carbohydrates. However, if fried, tostadas can have higher fat content due to oil absorption, so opting for baked versions can be a lighter alternative. The dish allows for customization, making it easy to incorporate nutrient-rich toppings, but moderation is key in avoiding excess saturated fats or sodium. Tostada de Maíz is a delicious and adaptable food that brings together the flavors and traditions of Mexican cooking.
