Guacamole adds flavor, while mashed peas are a cost-effective alternative.

Prepare the fish by using sea bass or any white fish like tilapia or snapper.

Mix grapefruit zest, cumin, and salt together and sprinkle it over the fish for added flavor.

Coat the fish with quinoa, which will create a crispy texture when cooked in hot oil.

Heat oil and fry the coated fish until crispy, approximately 3 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.

Segment a grapefruit by peeling it and cutting out the segments.

Mix the grapefruit segments with radicchio, diced serrano pepper, salt, and cilantro to create a salad topping.

Add grapefruit juice to the salad mixture without needing additional oil.

Smash the avocado, mix it with lime juice, lime zest, and salt to create a spread.

Spread the smashed avocado on the bottom of the tostada.

Place two pieces of fried fish on top of the avocado spread.

Add the grapefruit and radicchio salad on top of the fish.

Optionally, toast some quinoa in a dry pan and sprinkle it on top of the salad.
