Simply put good Mexican food is highly addictive. The flavors, spices, freshness and even aromas constantly having me coming back for more day after day, week after week. I could happily eat it 3 meals a day and be completely satisfied. One of the best breakfast I’ve ever had was on a trip to Mexico, these women made breakfast burritos with everything made from scratch, yes I still dream about those and the tamales they made with a masa prepared with fresh corn. Good Mexican food is loaded with fresh flavor and when made right, it’s never bland.
With Mexican dishes such as these tostadas I can sometimes get a little carried away. I like to get a little crazy with the toppings I pile on. Lets just say I pile mine high. There’s the perfectly crisp tostada shell, topped with beans, often followed by mexican rice, then a generous amount of the chicken (or other meat such as shredded beef), then I add the cheese over the warm chicken (so it will melt a bit), followed by the lettuce, green or red onions, tomatoes, cilantro lime ranch, sour cream, Mexican hot sauce (and as always, plenty of it), sometimes fresh salsa, and basically whatever else I see in the fridge or in my produce basket =). It sounds like an overload but somehow it all blends so incredibly well together. Of course you don’t need to add that much to it when you prepare these, just add the toppings you like. Enjoy!
