First, preheat your oven to 400°F. To bake your mini tostada shells in the oven, place them on a cookie sheet or metal baking pan in one single layer, careful not to overlap them. I can fit 12 mini street taco corn tortillas on my half sheet 18x13 inch baking pans.

Then, bake them for 7 minutes at 400°F. (If using an air fryer, air fry them at 375°F for 3-4 minutes).
Check them and if they are still soft or bendable, bake or air fry for another 1-2 minutes. Watch them closely toward the end of the baking time, as they may bake faster or take longer, depending on how hot your oven is, the type of pan you're using and the brand of tortillas you have.
They are done when they are hard and light golden brown.
Top with your favorite toppings and garnishes and serve immediately.
