Tostada ( or ; ) is a Spanish word meaning "toasted". In Mexico and other parts of Latin America, it is the name of various local dishes which are toasted or use a toasted ingredient as the main base of their preparation. Even though the tortilla is fried, the meaning sticks with it.
In Mexican usage, tostada usually refers to a flat or bowl-shaped (like a bread bowl) tortilla that is deep fried or toasted. It may also refer to any dish using a tostada as a base. It can be consumed alone, or used a base for other foods. Corn tortillas are usually used for tostadas, although tostadas made of wheat flour may occasionally be found.
Tostada may refer to:
- Tostada (toast), a Latin American toast
- Tostada (tortilla), a Mexican fried tortilla and the dish based on it
- Tostada, a Colombian snack made by frying sliced, unripe plantains
