Air Fryer Tostadas with Beans & Cheese
Air frying your tostadas is ideal for smaller batches, whether it's a quick meal for the kids or a work-from-home lunch, this is a great recipe to master. We cook the beans and cheese directly on the shell to make it practically effortless! Using an air fryer also reduces the oil content, making it a lighter option than frying.
