NOTES
If using corn tortillas instead of tostada shells, use one of these methods to warm them up:
- Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the tortillas in a single layer on a baking sheet. Spray or brush them lightly with olive oil or avocado oil spray. Warm them for about 5-7 minutes (or more) until your desired crispy level.
- Stovetop: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side until heated through.
- Microwave: Wrap the tortillas in a slightly damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds, but note that they won't be crispy, just warm.
