A simple way to bring a little twist to the Mexican food at your dinner table.

The flat taco.

I love Mexican food! These chicken tostadas are a simple way to bring a little twist to the Mexican food at your dinner table. They are a major hit at my house!

I grew up with a Taco Bell within walking distance from my house. Quite often I would buy my meals using nothing but change. I am sure the workers dreaded my arrival. But who doesn’t like hard shell tacos?

Then fast forward a decade and I was called to serve a Spanish speaking mission in Tempe, Arizona. I didn’t know what Mexican food really was until I spent a year and a half in their homes. I thought I liked it before but have you ever eaten real Mexican food? Wow! So good.

So I love adding a little spice to our weekly meals. Tacos are easy and everyone loves them but tostadas are just as simple and my kids go crazy over them! Rather than rolling or folding them up in a shell or tortilla, you spread them on and eat like a pizza.

You can make them as simple or complex as you’d like but whatever you put on them, they will be loved! If you like Mexican food, try my honey lime chicken enchiladas.
