I had tostadas for breakfast too. I fried up three tortillas, an apply refritos, sour cream, shredded cheddar and red salsa from a local taqueria.

I wouldn't think of buying tostada shells or tortilla chips. Heck, you can get a package of 30 6" corn tortillas at ALDI for $1.29, and a liter of sunflower oil that will fry up oodles of tortillas for $3.99 at Trader Joe's. If I'm going to eat something as carby as a tortilla, it better be a thrill. Freshly fried tortillas are. The ones you buy pre-fried are definitely not.

For making chips, you can cut up the 6" tortillas with a pizza cutter before frying.
