About Tostada shell
A tostada shell is a crispy, flat tortilla made by baking or frying corn or flour tortillas until golden and crunchy. Originating from Mexican cuisine, tostada shells are the foundation for many traditional dishes, typically topped with beans, meats, vegetables, and other savory ingredients. Corn tostada shells are naturally gluten-free and a good source of whole grains, providing dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates. However, the healthiness of a tostada shell depends on how it’s prepared. Baked versions are lower in fat and calories compared to fried shells, which can be higher in unhealthy fats if cooked in oil. Tostada shells are a versatile, flavorful base for balanced meals when paired with nutritious toppings like lean protein, fresh vegetables, and healthy fats. Keep portion sizes in mind to enjoy this crunchy staple as part of a wholesome diet.
