Tips for using Air Fryers
The air fryer is so great for cooking simple basic food like air fryer bacon wrapped chicken breast, steak, and eggs. Cook up some air fryer chicken breasts for the week and use the chicken for quesadillas, salads, or DIY chipotle burrito bowls
Overcrowding: Do not overcrowd the basket. Place items in a single layer in the air fryer basket or some food will not cook properly or all the way through.
What can I serve these tostadas?
- Starches: Make this with some Air Fryer Tortilla Chips or Smoked Queso Dip.
- Vegetables: Blender Salsa or Cowboy Caviar would make some great toppings for the tostadas.
- The Best Damn Guacamole would be great for a topping as well. 😉

These look good, Jenna! Good luck with the no dairy... that would be a tough one for me, but there are some decent substitutes. I think almond milk is decent and I have had some good recipes with Diaya products
