It’s been an exciting tournament of Football, Soccer, or Futbol this summer- now it’s time for the final match with Spain and Argentina battling for the championship. Our team already shared with you some of the best recipes to enjoy every football game, and now we have our own sort of final, our toughest decision before the game: tostadas or tacos. Whether you’re hosting a full watch party or just keeping it low-key, both are fast, flavour-packed, and made for cheering through every minute.
Join us to make that decision. On one side, you’ve got tostadas with that irresistible crunch. On the other hand, tacos bring the soft, hand-held comfort that never misses on game day. In this final, there’s no bad outcome, just a very good spread.
Tostada contenders
- Chicken Tinga Tostada with Tajin Chamoy: smoky chicken, charred vegetables, crispy tortillas, lettuce, onion, and crema for a bold, flavour-packed bite.
- Tuna Tostadas with Sesame, Lime, and Crispy Corn Tortillas: chilled tuna, cucumber, sesame, soy, lime, chives, and chilli for a lighter, fresher finish.
Taco contenders
- Chicken Tinga Fajitas Tacos: seasoned chicken, peppers, onion, chipotle salsa, guacamole, and pickled jalapeños on blue corn tortillas.
- Carne Asada Tacos: marinated steak, onion, cilantro, queso fresco, and fire roasted habanero salsa on blue corn tortillas.
The Tostada Side
The Chicken Tinga Tostada with Tajín Chamoy is bold, smoky, and a little playful, with charred vegetables, shredded chicken, crispy fried tortillas, lettuce, onion, and crema. It leans into a deeper, richer flavour profile and gets a bright twist from Tajín Chamoy.
The Tuna Tostadas with Sesame, Lime, and Crispy Corn Tortillas are lighter and fresher, with chilled tuna, cucumber, soy, sesame oil, lime, chives, finger chilli, and sesame seeds. It’s a cleaner, more modern tostada built for warm-weather snacking and quick assembly.
If you want the heavier hitter, chicken tinga takes the round. If you want the fresher, brighter option, tuna comes out ahead.
The Taco Side
The Chicken Tinga Fajitas Tacos bring a colourful, savoury mix of peppers, onion, chicken tinga seasoning, chipotle salsa, guacamole, and pickled jalapeños on blue corn tortillas. They’re the kind of tacos that feel built for a crowd because they look as good as they taste.
The Carne Asada Tacos are the classic on this side: marinated steak, grilled quickly, then finished with onion, cilantro, queso fresco, and fire roasted habanero salsa on blue corn tortillas. They’re straightforward, really tasty, satisfying, and exactly what you want from a taco.
If you want more layers and toppings, chicken tinga fajitas win. If you want the most classic, crowd-pleasing taco, carne asada should be the clear option.
Who Wins At The End?
If your guests want crunch, tostadas win. If your guests want something easier to hold between goals, tacos win. That means the real champion depends on how you watch and your taste.
For a final-worthy menu, the best move is to serve both and let everyone pick their side. The matchup becomes the fun part, and the table feels complete.
If you’re in the mood for crunch, tostadas are coming in strong. If you want something handheld and classic, tacos are ready to carry the round. Either way, you’re winning when the food is this good! Serve both, and let your guests decide which side wins the final.
