Paleo and Keto Tip: For a delicious grain free tostadas shell lightly charred green cabbage leaves. To prepare green cabbage tostadas shells, remove the core with a sharp knife. Carefully separate the outer leaves to use as tostadas cups. The cabbage “shell” can be served raw or brushed with oil and broiled until charred.
