Whether you serve them as the first course to a Mexican-themed meal or as an appetizer to pass at a party, tostadas are guaranteed to please. We’ve suggested coriander and mild queso fresco to top this spicy tostada but you can get creative with the garnishes. Put out chopped avocado, sliced radish, chopped green onion, sour cream or whatever you like, and let guests top their own.
