Instructions
- 1
Fry Tostada Shells: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the corn tortillas one by one, pressing down the center with tongs to keep them flat. Cook 1-2 minutes per side until deeply golden and perfectly rigid. Drain on paper towels and salt lightly.

Prepare Toppings: Warm the refried beans and the shredded meat. Prepare your assembly station with lettuce, tomatoes, crema, and cheese.
- 3
Spread the Base: Take a crispy tostada shell and spread a generous 2 tablespoons of warm refried beans evenly across the surface. This acts as the "glue" for the other ingredients.
- 4
Add Protein: Add a layer of the warmed shredded chicken or beef on top of the beans.
- 5
Layer Greens: Pile a handful of crisp, shredded iceberg lettuce over the meat to add volume and a fresh crunch.

Garnish and Serve: Top with diced tomatoes, a slice of avocado, a drizzle of crema, and crumbled Cotija cheese. Serve immediately before the tortilla gets soggy.
