About Fast foods, tostada, with beans, beef, and cheese
The tostada is an open-faced taco: a flat, crisp corn tortilla layered with refried beans, seasoned beef, cheese and shredded lettuce. Because it's served open rather than folded, it tends to carry lighter toppings than a packed burrito.
Per 100 grams it's one of the lightest items in this group, at about 148 calories, with roughly 7.2 grams of protein and 7.5 grams of fat. Carbohydrate is modest at about 13.2 grams. Sodium is on the lower side for fast food at around 387 milligrams per 100 grams, with about 33 milligrams of cholesterol from the beef and cheese.
With beans for fiber, beef for protein and a relatively low calorie count, the tostada is one of the more sensible quick-Mexican choices. The crisp tortilla base is fried, and the cheese adds saturated fat, so the usual tweaks — extra lettuce, tomato and salsa, lighter cheese and sour cream — keep it on the healthier end of the menu.
