Air Fryer Tostada
Air fryer tostadas are crispy and delicious. These tostada shells are easy to make in the air fryer and can be topped with a variety of tasty toppings.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 corn tortilla
- olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 pinch salt optional
- 2 tablespoon refried beans optional
- 2 tablespoon shredded cheese optional
Instructions
- Brush or lightly spray both sides of a corn tortilla with oil. Rub into the surface of the tortilla. Sprinkle salt on tortilla if desired.
- Place the tortilla in the air fryer basket and cook for 6-7 minutes at 350 degrees F, flipping halfway through cooking.
- Add refried beans to the top of the tostada, and then sprinkle cheese on top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes at 350 degrees F, watching to make sure tostada does not burn.
- Plate, and top as desired.
Notes
- The tortilla may curl up slightly while cooking. To prevent this, place something heat-safe on top to weigh it down. (I've used the metal rack from my Instant Pot for this purpose before). But it doesn't curl up much, and honestly hasn't been an issue for me.
- All air fryers cook differently. Watch tortilla carefully during cook time to ensure it doesn't burn.
- The actual amount of beans, cheese, and topping you put on your tostada are up to you! I've just included measurements as a guide.
