About Tostada shells
Tostada shells are a versatile staple in Mexican cuisine, typically made from corn or flour tortillas that are fried or baked until crisp. They serve as the base for a variety of dishes, such as tostadas topped with beans, shredded meat, vegetables, and salsa. Traditional corn tostada shells are gluten-free and provide a source of carbohydrates and fiber, depending on preparation method. While baked tostada shells are lower in fat and calories, fried versions contain added oils, which can increase fat content. They are often sodium-rich, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt intake. Tostada shells can also be a vessel for nutrient-rich toppings, making them a balanced option when paired with lean protein, fresh vegetables, and healthy fats like avocado. Their crunchy texture and adaptability make them a celebrated part of Mexican culinary tradition.
