Tostadas are a great, they really are. The base is a tortilla and there a multiple ways to get them all nice and crunchy:

• Fry them in a pan with hot oil. The tortilla will get crunchy rather fast like at max a minute per side. Drain the excess oil on a paper towel.
• Put a tortilla in the microwave between two paper towels and heat them on high for about a minute. Then another minute without the top paper towel.
• Bake them in the oven. First brush a layer of cooking spray (which I used) or oil on the tortilla front and back. Then bake in the oven at 350℉/175℃ for about 10 minutes (turn at the 5 minutes time mark).
