how do you accomplish this? do you change up the ingredients a bit?
I would just fry up two parallel soft tortillas with beans in between then top with whatever Mexican type things I felt like.
>>21629754fry some flour tortillas and use pic related add some home made refried beansand bring back the scallion
>>21629807Black olives too
>>21629754>how do you accomplish this? do you change up the ingredients a bit?OP, are you functionally retarded? Its 2 tostadas, bean paste, taco meat, cheese and tomato. Do you really need an instruction set to assemble this?
>>21629831They’re not tostadas they’re Taco Bell’s proprietary crispy things that are specifically for the Mexican pizza.
>>21629834>proprietary crispy thingsthey are so elusive now that I think about it, they are not far off from fried wanton nachos I did for a tuna dishjust square it up like totinos did
>>21629834You're right its probably unobtanium and no chefs on the planet have figured out what Mr. Bell's secret recipe to make them is.
>>21629754Why does it need to be a double-decker tostada anyway?Refried beans are a good "glue" to keep the tostada toppings adhered on top when you're eating a tostada, or they can roll off and land on your shirt or your plate. Panfry them yourself or just them premade, like Charras. Swirl on some refried beans. Spoon over your seasoned and browned ground beef, chicken or steak, or chorizo, then your cheese to get it melty, then top with your sour cream, cilantro and salsas.
>>21629859>Why does it need to be a double-decker tostada anyway?Tostadas are pretty small in diameter and it becomes impossible to lift and eat if you only use 1 shell: the bens rais up meat raises up cheese raises up veggies too high and before you know it you've got a 2" tall tostada with loose ingredients that easily fall off and oh yeah if the shell breaks everything is falling down. Double decker helps with the structural stability. Ever notice you've sometimes broken a hard taco shell and the thing just lets the filling out? Can't happen with a double decker taco or a chalupa.
I actually do a homemade version usually once a month. I cook up some ground beef with taco seasoning, then layer that over some refried beans on a tostada, put another tostada on top and spread some thickened enchilada sauce on that followed by some shredded cheese. Toss in the oven at 350 until the edges of the tostadas start browning a bit, then pull them out and top with diced tomatoes and some green onion. Better than the "real" thing, honestly.
>>21629875don't the tostadas just fall apart when you bite into them
I've never had a Taco Bell pizza. I have made my own Mexican Pizza based on a recipe my mom used for Fridays during Lent because I don't like fish. I have nearly perfected the recipe. If anyone wants the recipe, I'll post it. Otherwise I'll just leave pic related in this guerillla marketing thread. But it's basically just what >>21629804 said with specific techniques I have developed.>>21629895I found that using a flour tortilla and frying one side in EVOO is the play. The other side should be par-fried. This leave enough moisture in the tortilla to help it retain its structural integrity.
>>21629807Whoa I've never seen this in stores
>>21629754one time I ordered a "mexican" pizza in Red River, NM, it was fucking foul
>>21630187That seems like something New Mexico should be able to do better.
>>21631655>Red River, NMIts a tourist town closer to Colorado than most cities in NM.
>>21629994That actually looks good. Drop the recipe for me so I can enjoy this succulent dish.
>>21629754Put 2 tostadas in the oven for a bit to toast. Assemble the pizza. The middle is just beef and beans. Top is just red sauce, cheese, and tomatoes.Not hard.
>>21629754>>21629834>>21629840>>21632517>it CAN'T just be 2 tostadas!!!OK then get these uncooked tortillas and fry them.
>>21629840>they are so elusive They sell these at walmart, target, and every other store.
>>21632525>>21632527FUCK now I have to buy 18 of them and make 9 god damn mexican pizzas? What kind of asshole puts 18 of these bastards to a package?
>>21632527I've never seen theseI'll check it duder
>>21632558They're in the refrigerated section next to the eggs normally and the other baked goods stuff like the pillsbury rolls, etc.Store brand will work just as good.>>21632532They're really good tortillas. Sometimes I just make one and eat it buttered.
>>21632527never seen these in my life
>>21629754TostadaHomemade bean pasteCheeseTostadaHomemade bean pasteCheeseTomatoHot sauceAssemble right when you're about to eat. Easy.
>>21629754I used to bring my own olives and chopped green onions to Taco Bell, to recreate the Mexican Pizza of old. They really do make a difference. So definitely include that in any homemade recipes.
>>21632527>>21632525taco bells proprietary crispy things are made with a mix of corn and flour. or so ive heard
>>21633659a few years back my go to flour tortilla was a chi chi's brand that was a mix of flour and corn>>21633620nice, but I thought they melted the cheese,
>>21635324yeah they're supposed to melt the cheese but not all TBs are great about that
>>21633620>bringing real food to garnish fake foodgrim
