I LOVE this recipe! I grew up eating tostadas all the time and it’s still a staple in my home. This was a great way to switch it up! Making it again tonight! My friend came over and I made it for her. She’s been making them herself now! She loved them! So good!!!! Thank you!

Decided to make these to use up some cabbage and cilantro in my fridge – they’re beyond delicious. You really have a talent for coming up with fantastic flavor combinations that wow me and my carnivorous husband every time. Who would have thought tostadas without tons of fried cheese (my kryptonite) could taste this amazing…It’s all about the flavors you put together.

We found these refreshingly delightful in the February winter! I was worried the tostadas would break apart when eaten but they held together great while having a very satisfying crunch.

I think the 6 cans of refried beans must be a typo, we had plenty leftover with two cans serving four people. Next time I would roughly chop the cilantro and thinly slice or julienne the jicama.

SO good! I could eat the pickled onions like candy. This recipe is definitely making it into our rotation.

I planned to make this last night for a quick and easy dinner. We had a few early evening appointments so I made the slaw and onions ahead of time to make the throw together even quicker upon returning home. The appointments ran late and we ending up grabbing a bite out so instead I made these for lunch today and they were a hit. The flavors really compliment one another and they were so filling. My first wave of tortillas in the oven baking for four minutes on each side we’re burnt so the second round I did three minutes on each side and they were perfect. I would simply attribute that to either my tortillas were smaller or my oven runs hotter, who knows but I look forward to this becoming a regular meal. Oh and I layered all the leftovers, sans tortillas, in a small container to make a sort of layered dip for snacking. Yum yum!

SO GOOD! The flavors work together perfectly and the tostadas being baked is such a good idea!
