Directions
- SALSA: Char tomatoes on a pan on medium high heat, turning occasionally for 5 minutes, add onion and garlic and chili, continue cooking for 5 more minutes until ingredients are lightly charred. Remove from heat, and pulse for 10 seconds on a food processor (or until you obtain a chunky texture). Season with salt to taste and reserve.

- TOSTADAS: With the help of a round cookie cutter, cut each tortilla into 3 rounds. Place the rounds on a baking sheet and bake in a 375 °F oven for 5 minutes and turn, add a heaping spoonful of cheese and bake until cheese is melted and golden brown. Remove from the oven.
- Place a spoonful of the prepared carne asada on top of the hot and cheesy corn tostadas. Add some roasted red salsa, chopped red onion, cilantro, sour cream serve and enjoy.
