Equipment
- Oven
- Grater
- Chef's Knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- 4 tortillas fajita-size Mission Carb Balance whole wheat tortillas toasted
- 2 tsp olive oil for brushing baking sheet
- 1 cup thinly sliced lettuce
- 1/2 cup finely grated cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 450F/230C and brush a baking sheet with olive oil.
- Lay the tortillas on the baking sheet and toast until they are firm and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn them a couple of times while toasting and watch carefully because they can go quickly from nicely brown to burned.
- Let the tortillas cool for a few minutes.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed and discard. Scrape out the avocado flesh into a small bowl, and quickly mix in the lime juice, mashing the avocado and stirring well so the lime is well-distributed (to keep the avocado from turning brown).
- Mix in Green Tabasco Sauce (or other hot sauce), salt, and chili powder. Don’t use too much chili powder or it turns the guacamole brown!
- To assemble tostadas, spread a thin layer of Easy Guacamole over each toasted tortilla shell, then top with shredded lettuce and finely grated cheese.
- You can add other ingredients if desired like sliced olives, sliced green onions, chopped tomatoes, or salsa, but this version with just guacamole, lettuce, and grated cheese is my favorite.
Notes
- Tip 1: Store any leftover guacamole in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
- Tip 2: While I don’t recommend freezing the assembled tostadas, you can freeze the guacamole itself for up to three months.
- Tip 3: These tostadas pair beautifully with a refreshing salad or a side of black beans.
- Tip 4: Switch up the toppings! Try adding grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
- Tip 5: Add extras like jalapeños or a hot salsa for an extra kick.
