Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 small corn tortillas, cut into 1 1/2 to 2-inch rounds
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/3 cup hummus
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted red pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped marinated artichokes
- 1 teaspoon chopped black olives
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Pour enough vegetable oil into a skillet to reach approximately 1/2-inch to 1-inch deep. Heat over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, fry the tortilla rounds in batches of 5 or so, depending on the size of your skillet. Fry each batch for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Spread a small amount of hummus on each fried tortilla round.
- Top with chopped roasted red pepper, marinated artichokes, and black olives.
- Sprinkle each with crumbled feta cheese and minced parsley.
- Serve immediately while the tostadas are still warm and crispy.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the hummus. These bites are best served immediately to maintain the crispiness of the tostadas. If you prefer, you can bake the tortilla rounds instead of frying them for a healthier option. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but note that the tostadas may lose their crispiness.
