cooking spray
8
corn tortillas
salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray two large baking sheets with cooking spray.
Lightly spray both sides tortillas with cooking spray and place in a single layer on prepared baking sheets. Lightly season with salt.
Bake for 5 minutes, flip them over and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the tortillas are crispy like a chip.
Remove from oven and serve with toppings such as
Mexican refried beans
,
slow cooker carnitas
,
chicken tinga

Notes
Be sure to keep a close eye on the tostadas after the first 5 minutes. If your oven runs hot, they can go from undercooked to burnt quickly!
They should be crispy and light golden brown when they're ready. Keep in mind that they will dry out and firm up a little once they've cooled.
