Ingredients

Crispy Pizza Tostadas (The Base)

• 6 Siete Sourdough Style Shells
• 1 cup homemade or your favorite pizza or marinara sauce
• 1 1/2 cups of raw cheddar
• Olive or avocado oil spray

Choose Your Toppings

• Organic cooked sweet Italian sausage, crumbled
• Pepperoni
• Ricotta Cheese
• Banana Peppers
• Sliced Bell Peppers
• Mushrooms
• Olives
• Cooked ground beef or bison
• Fresh Basil
• Parmesan
• Red Pepper Flakes
• Hot honey, for finishing

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425. Arrange the tostada shells in a single layer on a large sheet pan. You should fit 2-3 per pan.
2. Lightly spray both sides of each tostada shell with olive or avocado oil.
3. Bake for 4 minutes, then flip the tostadas and bake for another 3 minutes, until lightly crisp.
4. Remove from the oven and spread each tostada with pizza sauce. Add mozzarella and your choice of toppings - pepperoni, cooked Italian sausage, dollops of ricotta, banana peppers, or whatever your family loves.
5. Return to the oven and bake 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the toppings are heated through.
6. Remove from the oven and add any finishing toppings you like. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

The more toppings the less crispy the tostada will be in the middle but still delicous.
