This is just a quick how to for those who are tired of soft tortilla wrapped tacos. This is a great alternative to hard shelled tacos. It’s like a crunchy Taco Pizza. Yes you can have the best of both worlds, Tacos & Pizza in one.
There’s a few different ways to make Tostada Shells. My preference is to bake the tortillas because it’s less oil and you just put them in the oven to bake for a short time. You can then top the shells with whatever you like.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Using parchment paper line a large baking sheet or 2 small sheets, set aside.
Brush the tortillas with oil using a pastry brush, or clean fingers. Sprinkle with salt or whichever desired herbs {oregano, cumin} or spices {cayenne, chili powder}.
Align tortillas in a single layer on prepared cookie sheets. Bake 5 minutes on the first side, then flip them over, turn the cookie sheets the opposite direction, and bake an additional for 4-5 minutes until tortillas are crisp & golden brown.
Use immediately or store for use another time. If storing put in a covered container & use within 3 days.
These crunchy tostada shells are perfect to use in my Vegan Crunchy Tostada Stacks.
