Cutting Calories in Tostadas

Daily Diet Makeover

Tostadas can be a super-duper choice for dieters, containing very few calories.  When dining out, we often enjoy the Taco Bell Tostadas which contain only 200 calories per tostada.  They tend to be very filling and the serving size is very generous.

Hot Calorie Spots for homemade tostadas:

Sour cream overload;

Cheese overload;

Refried bean overload.

The calorie-solution is very simple:

Measure out ingredients;

Keep refried beans to 1/4 cup per tostada;

Use skimmed, shredded mozzarella cheese and limit to 2 Tablespoons;

When using sour cream, opt for the LIGHT variety.

When following the above tips, a homemade tostada topped with a generous amount of shredded lettuce, onion and tomato contains about 125 calories.
