Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 2 pieces Avocado, sliced
- 1 cup Grated cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
- 2 pieces Lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Pour the vegetable oil into the skillet and heat until shimmering, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
One at a time, carefully place a corn tortilla into the hot oil. Fry each tortilla for about 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Use tongs to flip the tortilla and ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Transfer each crispy tortilla to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt while still warm.
Step 5
Once all tortillas are fried, spread a spoonful of refried beans over each tostada.
Step 6
Top the beans with a handful of shredded lettuce, followed by diced tomatoes.
Step 7
Place slices of avocado on top, then sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese.
Step 8
Add a dollop of sour cream to each tostada and finish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Step 9
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tostadas just before eating.
