Tostada Base

Epazote Black Beans

Chipotle Aioli

Avocado Pineapple Jalapeño Salsa

Method

Prepare the Tostada Base

  1. 1

    Fry the Tortillas

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the corn tortillas, one at a time, frying until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cook the Salmon

  1. 2

    Season and Cook

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the Kvarøy salmon fillet with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.

Prepare the Epazote Black Beans

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a saucepan, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add the Beans

    Add the canned black beans (drained and rinsed), cumin, epazote leaves, and salt to the saucepan. Stir and let simmer for 5-7 minutes.

Make the Chipotle Aioli

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chipotle in adobo, and lime juice until well combined. Set aside.

Prepare the Avocado Pineapple Jalapeño Salsa

  1. 6

    Mix the Salsa

    In a medium bowl, combine diced avocado, pineapple, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Stir gently to combine and set aside.

Assemble the Tostadas

  1. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On each crispy tortilla, layer a spoonful of epazote black beans, a piece of baked salmon, a scoop of avocado pineapple jalapeño salsa, shredded red cabbage, a dollop of chipotle aioli, pea shoots, tomatillo salsa, and crumbled queso fresco.
