Tostada Origins

The tostada shell is a Mexican dish that originated in Mesoamerica. There, it was common to fry leftover tortillas until they were crisp and use them as a means of transporting food. From there, the dish spread throughout Mexico and eventually to the United States. The tostada is a Mexican staple and can be found in both restaurant and home kitchens.

Tostadas are typically made with corn tortillas, but flour tortillas can also be used. With all the creative chef’s alternatives are also on the rise. The tortilla is first fried until crisp and then topped with various ingredients such as beans, cheese, meat, vegetables, and salsa.

Keto Tostadas

There are a few main differences between keto tostadas and traditional tostadas. The most obvious is the type of tortilla used. Keto tostadas use a low-carb tortilla without flour or corn, while traditional tostadas use a corn or flour tortilla. Additionally, keto tostadas are typically topped with ingredients like cheese, meat, and avocado, while traditional tostadas are usually topped with beans, lettuce, and tomatoes.
