You can get ready-made tostadas, but they're normally deep fried and have salt added. They are quite tasty. But if you're trying to be health-conscious, sometimes it's preferable to make your own.

Baked Tostadas

Slightly adapted from Cook's Country December/January 2018

Ingredients

• 6 corn tortillas (15cm size works well for this)
• olive oil spray

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).¹
2. Spritz each tortilla lightly with oil on both sides and brush to spread it over the whole surface.
3. Place the tortillas on a baking sheet in a single layer and place an inverted baking/cooling rack on top of them to help keep them flat and stop them from puffing up too much in the oven.
4. Bake at 230°C (450°F) for 8-10 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and top as desired.

¹ I actually absent-mindedly used the convection setting on my oven, so I baked mine at 220°C (425°F) fan/convection instead. It seems to have worked out fine. It's basically equivalent to air-frying them. ^Back
