Why do my tostadas always end up chewy?

[Dom]

It's frustrating—every time I make tostadas, they end up chewy instead of crispy. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Have you had similar experiences and found a way to fix it? Really curious to solve this kitchen mystery!

One possible reason is that you didn't cook them long enough. Next time, make sure to cook them until they're golden and crisp. Remember that it takes 2-4 minutes per side when frying.

Ah, the chewy tostada struggle! It might be that they're not getting enough time in the oven to crisp up, or perhaps they're sitting too long after cooking. Try baking them at a higher temperature for a shorter time, and let them cool for a bit before adding toppings.
