Mini Tostadas
- I love to make my own tostadas using corn tortillas. Its a lot of work, but worth the effort.
- Take as many tortillas as you have pieces of shrimp. Use the rim of a glass or round cookie cutter and cut your mini tortillas to size. I like them to be around 2" – 3" max.
- Once all of the tortillas are cut to size, heat vegetable oil.
- Once the oil is hot enough, fry the tortillas until nice and crispy. B
- e careful not to over crowd.
- Drain on paper towels and continue until all tortillas are cooked.
How To Serve:
Assembly
- Take a crispy tortilla, top with lettuce, a piece of shrimp and lomi tomato. You can do just about anything here.
- If you want you can try different toppings such as guacamole, sour cream, black bean salsa, daikon, kim chee…get creative and have a blast.
- You can even let your guests build their own
