TV Dinner: Tostadas

WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) - Tostada means “toasted” in Spanish.

Chef Chris Manning starts by toasting flour tortillas (you can use corn, too), then he tops them with a variety of ingredients (you can see a sampling below).

And, because it’s a Lentin Friday, he tops the whole thing with seasoned shrimp. You can also use chicken or pork.
