A healthy way to start the day is with an avocado tostada for breakfast, but this easy avocado recipe is perfect anytime. A tostada is simply a corn tortilla baked or fried to crispy deliciousness. I’m trying to reduce saturated fats, so baking tortillas in an oven is a smart option for me, and avocados are one of the best sources of beneficial fats.
Ingredients for this Avocado Recipe
1 ripe AVOCADO
1 or 2 toasted CORN TORTILLAS
1 GREEN ONION chopped
1 Tbsp SUN DRIED TOMATO chopped
1 Tbsp EVERYTHING SEASONING for Bagels
1 Tbsp LEMON JUICE if not eating right away; this will help keep the avocado from discoloring.
This recipe makes 1 or 2 servings depending on how much avocado topping you desire on each tostada. CG and I usually make 2 servings, although in the video recipe I pile on the topping for one large serving.
You can buy premade tostadas, but often they are fried. If you already have corn tortillas at home, you can simply bake them in the oven and create your own tostadas. This will work with either yellow or white corn tortillas.
How to Toast Tortillas to Make Tostadas
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
- Spread tortillas on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then turn and bake for 5 more minutes. This time is approximate, so keep an eye on them. If you remove the tortillas too early, they will be more chewy than crisp, so simply return them to the oven and bake a few minutes more if needed.
- When crisp, remove tostadas from the oven and allow to cool.
How to Make an Avocado Tostada
Buy a ripe avocado for this recipe, and choose avocados that still have the “nubbin” on the stem end. Often these ends are missing on avocados, and sometimes this can allow for an avocado to dry out, or to spoil more quickly, so keep this in mind when shopping.
For this recipe, I like to use a combination of regular and smoked sundried tomato, but use whatever you prefer.
- In a bowl, combine the chopped green onion bottoms, Everything Seasoning, sundried tomato, and fruit of the avocado. Check current prices for Everything Seasoning Mix on Amazon.
- Mix well to desired smoothness. Add Lemon juice if eating later.
- Spoon the mixture evenly onto 1 or 2 crispy tostadas.
- Top with the chopped green onion tops, and additional sundried tomato if desired.
