After making those crunch wrap burgers, we had a few left over tostadas. Instead of using them to make the equivalent of flat tacos, we decided to go all out. These things push the edge of what is considered finger food into monster sized food. They come with every topping you could imagine to put on them!

These were so filling that one was enough for a whole meal! Definitely recommend these as a meal and not as an appetizer!
