How to make tostada shells

PAN FRYING Corn Corn You can create your own tostada shell with corn. Add enough vegetable oil or canola oil to a frying pan to cover or soak corn. Heat in medium/high fever until the oil is hot. Then add the shell and fry for 1-2 minutes. Use the tongs to flip it and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove it with a paper towel so that the extra oil falls off. Repeat the shell as needed.

If you want a tostada peel to be slightly shaped like a bowl, tie it on a bowl of paper towels and then remove the shell from the oil. The fried peel is dried over a bowl and takes this shape.
