tostados
Fried tortilla bases
Tostados is a plural form of tostado, a crispy fried or baked tortilla typically topped with beans, meat, cheese, lettuce, and salsa.
The word comes from Spanish meaning "toasted." In Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, tostados serve as an open-faced alternative to tacos, with the flat, crunchy base supporting various toppings.
We ordered chicken tostados with guacamole.
The more common spelling of the plural is tostadas.
