Whether you want to dive into a classic flavor profile or add a quirky twist, tostadas are your go-to base for almost any topping you can think of!

The Perfect Base

At its core, a tostada is a crispy corn tortilla that has been baked or lightly fried until it's golden brown. We're all about keeping things guilt-free here at The Skinny Fork, so we’re going with a cheddar flavored Magic Pop today! No heating required and I like to stack two of them together when I use them as a base for something like this tostada…

Black Bean & Roasted Butternut Squash Tostadas

September 23, 2017 Amanda Plott

A fresh local butternut squash means Fall is finally here! I love it when I start to get my hands on winter squash. They are easily one of the most tasty and versatile foods out there. Anywhere from stuffing them, to roasting them, to mashing them as a puree. I'm sold. Hook, line, and sinker.

Not only are these tostadas easy to make, they're also a meal you can make off of one baking sheet; making it a perfect weeknight go-to for any busy family. And believe you me... I've been one busy gal! Friday really tested my limits and put me through the ringer. I ran around like a crazy person getting my daughter into her doctor and off to get an x-ray on her little footsie. So, I knew dinner was going to have to be supremely quick and hassle free...

Breakfast Tostadas

Good morning, beautiful.

This is another oldie but goodie that I decided needed to get a bit of an update. The pictures were old and out of date and my cooking style has changed tremendously. It's the process of the ever evolving home cook.

Originally when I made these tostadas, my grandmother is visiting me from Oregon coast. She usually comes down once a year for a good 4-6 weeks to indulge in the Texas heat. What can I say? She's a born and raised Texan that is now denied the sun except for a single week out of the year when a few rays manage to peek through the ever looming clouds in the sky there on the Oregon coast.

Don't get me wrong. I love Oregon. And further more... I love rain.

At any rate, one of my grandmother's favorite things to eat are tostadas...

Skinny 7 Layer Tostadas

April 19, 2014 Amanda Plott

When I was first hatching this plan, I was looking to make tostadas, but I really wanted more of a meatless recipe for the week. I always have at least one meatless dinner a week because it saves time, money, and usually a few calories!

Anyway, I figured... I love tostadas and I love 7 Layer Dip... so why not put the two together?

Perfect!...
