Where are all our tostada fans? πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

The tradition of tostadas dates back about 2,000 years ago and is said to be invented in Oaxaca, Mexico around the Monte Alban ruins. Tostadas became a delicious and hearty way to extend and make use of leftover tortillas that were no longer fresh enough to fold for tacos but still fresh enough to be eaten.

We just know you can pile plenty of β€œfixins’” on top of these and the crunchy tortilla doesn’t break! πŸ’πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ’πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
