Ingredients:
8 x 6-inch or smaller Diego’s corn tortillas
A dash of salt (for tostadas after frying)
Canola, vegetable, or olive oil (for frying the corn tortillas into crisp tostadas)
500g freshly grilled Margarita Chargrilled Prawns
1½ - 2 cups finely shredded purple cabbage
Optional:
Crumbled feta
Pickled red onions
Sour cream (thinned with a bit of water)
Favorite hot sauce (for serving on the taco/tostada under the prawns)
Optional sides: Mexican rice, Mexican pinto beans, and/or Salsa Verde or Salsa Fresca
Instructions:
Prepare the Tostadas:
Line a plate or dish with paper towels to drain off the tostadas after frying.
Heat the Oil:
In a medium pot or frying pan (with at least a 7 cm depth), heat enough oil to fit the tortillas. The oil should be heated to 177-180°C. Use a candy thermometer or another recommended thermometer to check the oil temperature.
Fry the Tortillas:
Place 1 tortilla (depending on the size of the pot/pan) into the heated oil.
Using a metal spatula with holes, press down on the tortilla(s) repeatedly to ensure they are fully submerged in the oil.
Fry for about 2 minutes until the tortillas turn golden in color.
Using tongs or a spatula, remove the tostada from the oil and place it on the paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add a dash of salt to each tostada while still hot.
Repeat with remaining tortillas, making sure the oil returns to the proper temperature before frying the next batch.
Prepare the Margarita Chargrilled Prawns:
While the tostadas are draining, warm up the Margarita Chargrilled Prawns (either by reheating in a pan or on the grill).
Assemble the Tostadas:
Place the fried tostadas on a serving platter.
Top each tostada with a generous portion of the Margarita Chargrilled Prawns.
Add a layer of shredded purple cabbage on top.
If desired, garnish with crumbled feta, pickled red onions, and a drizzle of thinned sour cream with hot sauce.
Serve:
Serve the tostadas with optional sides of Mexican rice, Mexican pinto beans, and/or Salsa Verde or Salsa Fresca.
