Another recipe inspired by travels around New Mexico., specifically a restaurant called Medley in Taos.A tostada is a fried or toasted soft tortilla (corn or wheat) and topped with whatever you like. Don't be put off by the long list of ingredients, apart from frying the tortillas it's an assembly job. Fried onions and furikake seasoning can be found in most supermarkets
