We’re bringing a little heat to this tostadas recipe and making three better-for-you swaps, including Mazola Corn Oil rather than extra virgin olive oil.

Layered Crunchy Shrimp Tostadas - an Easy and Delicious Mexican Recipe

Did you know September is National Cholesterol Awareness Month? This inspired our three swaps.

Along with using Mazola® Corn Oil rather than extra virgin olive oil, we are swapping out the traditional beef for shrimp in our tostadas, and rather than sour cream, we’re using our favorite plain yogurt.

Compared to other cooking oils, Mazola Corn Oil has more cholesterol-blocking sterols, one and a half times more than canola oil, and four times more than extra virgin olive oil! Mazola Corn Oil is all-purpose cooking oil.

It is also a cholesterol-free cooking oil that is a smart heart-healthy* choice for your family. *See Mazola.com for more information on the relationship between corn oil and heart health.
