Doesn't this look pretty?
Well, it tastes as good as it looks. These tostados are like a guilty pleasure for me. I've made them several times and just can't get enough of them.
Frying up the tortillas in a little bit of oil tastes super duper nummy but you can be lazy and buy the tostados as well.
The ingredients are simple yet magical. They come together so perfectly and the taste is simply amazing.
I make a huge batch at a time. It's kinda a pain to cut everything up so I made a ginormous batch and I eat it for lunches for the week. Feel free to halve it if you want a smaller batch. Just don't forget to pile on the pineapple salsa because it rocks and it totally makes this meal!
