Tostadas

Method

Tostadas

  1. 1

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble the chorizo and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Break up any large pieces as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the corn tostadas on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until warm and lightly crisp.

  3. 3

    If using crema, spread a thin layer on each tostada as a base for toppings.

  4. 4

    Evenly divide the cooked chorizo among the tostadas.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chorizo, then add the finely chopped red onion, cilantro, and a spoonful of pico de gallo or fresh salsa on each tostada.

  6. 6

    Top each tostada with avocado slices.

  7. 7

    Squeeze a little lime juice over the toppings on each tostada to brighten flavors.

  8. 8

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the contrast of crisp tortilla, savory chorizo, and fresh toppings.
