WHAT TO SERVE WITH TOSTADAS

You can serve this meal with the following side dishes, but like tacos, these are pretty filling and do not necessarily need a side dish to make a meal.

rice (brown or white)
lettuce
side salad
baked fries
Spanish rice
soup
fresh-cut veggies

These do not freeze well or keep more than a few hours. You can however prepare the veggies and shrimp ahead of time.
