Tostada Base

Method

Prepare the Yuca

  1. 1

    Peel and Cut

    Start by peeling the yuca with a vegetable peeler. Cut it into large chunks.

  2. 2

    Boil

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the yuca chunks and cook for about 20-25 minutes until tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Cool

    Drain the yuca and let it cool for a few minutes until it's cool enough to handle.

  4. 4

    Mash

    Once cooled, mash the yuca in a bowl until smooth. Add olive oil, salt, and garlic powder, mixing until well combined.

Form and Cook Tostadas

  1. 5

    Shape

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the mashed yuca into flat circles, about ¼ inch thick.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Place the yuca circles on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.

Assemble Tostadas

  1. 7

    Top with Refried Beans

    Once the tostadas are ready, spread a layer of refried black beans on each yuca toast.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    Top each tostada with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.

  3. 9

    Finish

    Drizzle with lime juice, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top, and add hot sauce to taste.
