A deep-fried Mexican dish is a popular type of cuisine that is often served as an appetizer or snack. The two most common deep-fried Mexican dishes are chalupa and tostada. A chalupa is a fried tortilla filled with various ingredients such as beans, cheese, and meat. A tostada is a flat, fried tortilla topped with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and other ingredients. Both dishes are usually served with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
