Easy Tostadas Recipe
Thursday, June 06, 2024
There’s something about grabbing food with my hands that I absolutely love. I adore eating burritos, tacos, pizza, and anything else that can be hand-held.
Since all of this is usually super unhealthy, I’ve had to create my own recipes that are healthier, help lower my cholesterol, and still let me enjoy my food as before.
With that said… here's a recipe so indulgent, it makes me feel like I’m indulging in something sinfully unhealthy.

How to Read Tortillas' Labels:
The cleaner the ingredients in the tortillas you buy, the faster you’ll see and feel results in your body. Here are examples of clean and dirty labels.
Clean Label: Masienda

Dirty Label: Guerrero
This is an example of one of the dirtiest labels I’ve seen. I avoid these at all costs. The tortillas contain corn masa flour, water, and include 2% or less of: cellulose gum, guar gum, propionic acid, benzoic acid, and phosphoric acid. Here’s what the label looks like:
Cleanest Option: My favorite masa
If you want the cleanest option, you can make them by hand. It’s the easiest recipe you can imagine. Simply buy the masa and add water. That’s it. Here’s what the label looks like:
