first a tostada, then a tortilla wrapped around then toasted, then you want to deep fry it. after that coat in refried beans, add another larger flour tortilla, fry it, and then a beer batter tempura. once you've finished that, coat with a thick potato mash, coated with a dusting of panko, and fried again. wrap that sucker in an entire pizza. fry it. if you really want to go the extra mile, dump it into a large roasting tray with a puff pastry bottom, chopped fried sausage, mushroom, and a layer of proscuitto, and a top layer of puff pastry. roast, then top with gravy. really good stuff.

I'm from mexico and my personal top tier tostada brand is Charras. Most will do the trick for more robust, non-snack meals but to me that's the ultimate tostada brand for tostadas con crema y sal. Can you do a video on pozole? The world needs to know more about what i consider to be one of the peak achievements of mexican cuisine. It's also an incredible meal that can be produced on large quantities for not a lot of cost, all things considered.

Picadillo is endlessly versatile. Rick Bayless has a recipe for Oaxacan picadillo that uses ground pork which is a nice variation. My family is Cuban so I grew up eating picadillo with raisins and green olives. We usually ate it with rice but it can be the filling for tamales en cazuela or tambor de platanos. Puerto Ricans use it in pastelon. The other day, I made Spanish empanadillas ( in Spain an empanada is a tuna pie!) with Spanish picadillo filling.

@@EthanChlebowski It might be worth pointing out that this picadillo is just a couple of additional spices (or "tadka") away from being turned into qeema, qeema mattar, qeema aloo, and further transformed into qeema naan/kulcha. In theory is could also be the base for a lachmacun. In other words, there are no leftovers, only meal prep.

You hit the nail on the head with this!! There’s something so comforting about a simple tostada. My moms favorite is a slather of sour cream, a slice of ham, and a ton of shredded lettuce or cabbage with hot sauce on top. She treats it like an open face sandwich and adds whatever topping she’s feeling like.

One trick for freezing meat sauces like this is to create portions once you have it in the bag. Just lay it flat in the counter and use the side of your hand to make grooves in the sauce to separate out your portions. It’s best to make fold lines and freeze it folded up. Once it’s frozen, unfold and lay flat to store. Then you can open the bag and take out as many portions as you want. This is also great for freezing individual chicken breasts and thighs. Just fold the bag so each piece is freezing “alone.”

This is a damn good picadillo recipe. I made the picadillo twice. The first time I made it just like you said. Llast night I tweaked a little. I added garlic poder and onion powder to the raw meat and evenly mixed before I seared the meat. it made a BIIIIG difference . I added a tspn of apple cider vinegar to the cold water for the russet potatoes so they wouldn’t break on me - I learned that trick in Juanca cocina’s youtube channel. I bloomed cumin along with the paprika and the Chile powder. I used a whole Can of diced tomatoes and added a whole chile serrano and 2 bay leaves and covered the pot and simmered for a while . My Mexican mom loved it. She makes the kind that has no tomatoes but I wanted tomatoes. Thank you.

Huge tostada fanatic here! I lived in a small town as a teenager. It had a tiny, hole-in-the-wall restaurant called, "Taco Hut". One of their staples was very much like your lunch version of Tostada #1 and sold for something like 2/$1. Those were the first tostadas I'd had and I quickly developed an addiction. I don't know if it was the relative novelty, the freshness, the eye appeal or what. It's been nearly 50 years ago, now. The restaurant has closed, I've moved away but still find myself craving those simple little tostadas.

The El Milagro truck arrives at around 10 a.m. on Saturday and if you get there after noon, you probably will not get any fresh corn tortillas, they are just that good. A line forms every week and it is worth the wait. Nothing else comes close. If I miss the window, we just don't make tacos.

Picadillo (Cuban) is my favorite dish! My family did it with beef, Oregano, bay leaves, onion, green pepper, tomato paste, garlic, olives, raisins, Adobo (spanish not mexican huge difference), and probably some other spices I'm forgetting, but my sister changed our recipe into more of a sheppard's pie. Instead of serving it over rice or in an empanada, we layer Mashed potatoes, picadillo, and taters on top. Shred over some sharp cheddar and gruyere, and bake.

the first type of tostada (without the veggies) is a famous Honduran dish! usually we use frijoles de seda (small red kidney beans) and queso seco which is like crumbling cheese but a bit drier, hence the name. we call them "catrachitas." Easy and sooo delicious for breakfast or a snack, especially in a Latin household where theres always a pot of beans ready on the stove :)

The tostada will go to the next level if you warm the tostada on the stove top, gas flame, for a few seconds before you top it. Try it. I think you’ll really see a difference. Watching you in Mexico City.

I sometimes make guacamole tostada and top with small boiled peeled shrimp, diced tomatoes and topped with salsa that has lime juice in in it.

Hey Ethan, would you consider a deep dive video on fresh garlic vs jarred garlic vs garlic powder? Great video

We always used old Corn Tortillas and just fried them in a small pan to make tostadas. Fresh tortillas for tacos, old tortillas for tostadas

Love Love LOVE tostadas! Had my first in Mexico and have never had anything as good as the original. It’s important to use Oaxacan cheese

In my motherland and culture you're born with a Maize tostada or tortilla in hand. I'm a million years old and have been eating tostadas almost every other day or so my whole life and still crave them all the time, luv them to pieces. blessed be the tostada : D

I grew up near El Milagro. Smelled heavenly. Tastes even better. The best flour tortillas hands down Guerrero, especially their casera.

Strong work! Remember to slice the flank steak across the grain. I'm buying tostadas tomorrow--found a store that has the brand you recommend.

Ethan! You should try this out! Tostada, refried beans, ham or turkey, crema, lettuce, cotija cheese and tomatoes and season that the end. DELICIOUS! 🤤

One of my favorite tostadas is tuna salad topped with grilled cheese. Salsa, sour cream and sometime guacamole are tasty additions.

I tend to only ever find bags of premade tostadas at the store that already have many of them broken. Making them at home seems like a better way to go

You have to go through them to find the best (less broken) and you can always eat the broken ones.

Try a froached egg instead of a sunny-side up on that one breakfast tostada. You might like it even more.

Yeah, I always have premade tostadas around. If I'm hankering for a quick snack I just top with some sour cream, pickled vegetables, hot sauce and some cheese. But my favorite topping is refried beans, chorizo, pickled onions,sunny side egg and El Yucateco hot sauce
Can I make French Tacos faster than ordering them?
