Tarheel Tostados Recipe
Supper made out of components of other meals, it came out well enough that it has become a planned-over type of meal. Plan to make enough to have extras to make these crunchy treats.

I make a VERY similar dish! They are wonderful, aren't they?! I use leftover smoked chicken or leftover pork....the creamy crunch of the coleslaw is perfect against the soft BBQ. Instead of frying my own tostados, I was lucky enough to find some wonderful jalepeno lime crunchy shells at a local Hispanic store. I also do something similar in nacho form! Good one!


Wow, nym! Thiese should be called Everything but the Kitchen Sink Tostados... You have my high 500 on this glorious post. I'm beginning my "planned-over" even as we speak!
