an incredibly versatile treat --make a snack of chips & dip, make a nacho meal with all the fixin's
ole for ole corn tostadas!
the store bought tostadas are sandwiched between the two bags of cheesethey come out of the bag all crispy--$2.39 for about 30 in the bag
only 80 calories each--no sugar
sprinkle some cheese and a little seasoning salt...
30 seconds in the micro
fabulous treat
for me it's a little too easy to overeat these oops so...
these are soft corn torillas but small like the tostadas
about 5.5 inches in diameter
there's less than 1/4" oil in an 8" skillet
the biggest trick is to get the oil hot enough
when it's not hot enough the oil soaks in
when the oil is hot enough they just crisp up
and come out practically dry
so the idea is to test it by frying small pieces cut off one tortilla
until you get the exact feel for it
the first few will sizzle but get soaked
then eventually it will come out of the oil dry
bingo--perfect temp
fry for less than a minute each side
cut them into chips with a pizza cutter after frying
i think it's easier to handle this way
sprinkle with salt while hot
dip into guacamole or cheese dip
these are a real treat
since there's a little more preparation involved
it's easier to portion control
but these are 40 calories each before frying
just a great snack or pig out meal for me
~~~~~ ~~~an even easier way~~~ ~~~~~
microwave the tortilla for one minute
brush each side with oil
sprinkle with salt
broil for about 2.5 minutes per side
super super good
