Baked Tostada Shells

By classycook

Ingredients

• Corn tortillas

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit or 204 degrees celsius.
Brush both sides of a corn tortilla lightly with vegetable oil. Sprinkle with salt, chili powder or cayenne for extra taste.
Place tortilla on a baking sheet.
Repeat the process with additional tortillas. Usually you can fit about 4 to 6 tortillas per baking sheet.
Bake tortillas for 3 to 5 minutes on the first side, or until tortillas turn crispy, with light to medium golden-brown color.
Remove the sheet from the oven, turn the tostada shells over and repeat the process.
Optional: You can make your tostada shells in a bowl shape by baking them with their sides folded in a small spring form pans, weighted down with pastry molds.
