Guacamole

Method

Guacamole

  1. 1

    Mash avocados

    Halve the avocados, remove pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher until chunky but smooth to your liking.

  2. 2

    Flavor the guacamole

    Stir in fresh lime juice and salt. Mix in chopped cilantro and jalapeño. If using red onion, fold in now.

  3. 3

    Align flavors

    Taste and adjust salt or lime as needed. Let the guacamole rest for 5 minutes to meld flavors.

Tostadas and toppings

  1. 4

    Crisp the tostada shells

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place tostada shells on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake 5–7 minutes, turning once, until crisp and lightly browned.

  2. 5

    Prepare toppings

    Shred lettuce, dice tomatoes, and shred cheese so they are ready to assemble.

  3. 6

    Assemble each tostada

    Spread a generous spoonful of guacamole on each crisp tostada shell. Top with lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately, with extra lime wedges on the side if desired.
