Tips
- Assemble at the last moment, a tostada soaks up the sauce and goes soft within minutes.
- Chop the prawns smaller if serving as party canapés.
- Chill the guacamole for 10 minutes first, it makes a firmer base.
- A pinch of salt on the lettuce helps the topping season evenly.
Storing and freezing
Best eaten fresh. Keep cooked prawns in the fridge for up to 1 day and do not store assembled tostadas.
Questions
Can I make them ahead?
Cook the prawns and keep them chilled for up to 1 day. Assemble the tostadas just before serving.
Are they gluten free?
Yes, if your tostadas are made from corn only. The base recipe uses masa harina and is gluten free.
Can I use fish or chicken?
Yes. Flaked cooked white fish or shredded chicken tossed in the sauce both work as the topping.
