Note
For best results, use fresh tortillas and fry them until golden and crisp before assembling, or store-bought tostada shells if preferred.
To make this recipe vegan, substitute the cream cheese with a plant-based alternative or omit it entirely for a lighter option.
Serve immediately to maintain the crunch of the tostada base. If preparing ahead, keep the toppings separate and assemble just before serving.
Adjust the amount of chipotle chile to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
