tostadas

Crunchy tortilla plates

Tostadas are a Mexican dish consisting of flat, crispy fried or toasted tortillas topped with various ingredients—typically beans, meat, lettuce, cheese, and salsa.

The word is Spanish for "toasted." A single tortilla prepared this way is a tostada: I'll have two tostadas and a side of rice.
