A tostada with toppings is a versatile dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, offering a crispy corn tortilla base layered with a variety of flavorful ingredients. Common toppings include refried beans, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, cheese, and proteins like grilled chicken, beef, or black beans. Often garnished with salsa, cilantro, or a drizzle of sour cream, it delivers a balance of textures and tastes. Nutritionally, tostadas can be a good source of fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats, particularly if fresh vegetables and lean proteins are used. However, key considerations for health include limiting fried tortillas, high-fat cheeses, and sour cream, which can add significant calories and saturated fat. Opting for baked tostadas and light toppings can make this dish a satisfying, nutrient-rich option that aligns with healthy eating goals while celebrating its vibrant Mexican heritage.
