8 tostadas
Preparation
- To make tostada shells, lay tortillas in a single layer on a counter and cover with a dry towel for about 30 minutes. Heat oil to 1-inch depth in a large skillet to 380 degrees. Fry one at a time until golden, about 30 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Cut fish into half-inch dice. Marinate in lime juice and salt to cover for 1 to 6 hours. Drain fish, mix with remaining ingredients and serve on the crisped tortillas with lime wedges, or use as a dip with tortilla chips.
