I used these as part of my mid week dinner party and thought I would share this little treasure with you all. This is something that I learned from my mom and has been in our family for years. Not much to it but worth every bite. Begin with some ripe tomatoes, on the vine or larger sized ones work great. With your cheese grater, grate the tomatoes into a bowl, while you do this you will be left with most of the peel in your hands. Add a little salt and pepper and a dash of Tabasco and your sauce is ready. It can be left in the fridge until just before serving. Now for the the tostada part. If I had all the time in the world I would make my tortillas from scratch and fry them myself. However the reality is that time is short and I leave that mess up to the experts. I get these fried tortillas from El Comal where I buy my corn tortillas from. To serve these delectable treats, place a tortilla on each plate, spread the tomato sauce in a thin layer and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Simple and delicious! Have some napkins nearby as no matter how neat an eater you are there are bound to be some stray pieces. January 22, 2011: Updated
