The quickest TOSTADAS I make when I don't want to cook

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

shredded cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds flavor without dairy

cooked chicken or beef

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans provide protein at a lower cost

Start with a rotisserie chicken or shredded chicken.

Slice some tomatoes.

Dice the chicken, or shred it with your fingertips.

Mash fresh avocado in a bowl.

Add fresh squeezed lime juice, salt, and garlic and pepper blend to the mashed avocado.

Build the tostada by smearing guacamole onto the tostada.

Add the diced chicken on top of the guacamole.

Top with sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and fresh onion.

Add pickled jalapenos and pickled carrots on top.

If available, add homemade salsa or hot sauce.

Top with Mexican cream and queso fresco if desired.
