Ingredients
Tostada Filling
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 3 yukon gold potatoes diced small
- 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 can black beans drained & rinsed
- 1 bunch swiss chard chopped with stems separated
- salt & pepper to taste
Honey Lime Sauce
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 lime juiced
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
Corn Tostada Shells
- 1 tbsp avocado oil (or other high temperature oil)
- 8 gluten-free corn tortillas
- 8 oz Monterey jack cheese shredded
Garnish (optional)
- lime slices
- cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Prepare the Tostada Filling
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté the onions in 1 tbsp of the avocado oil until they begin to be translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the chopped potatoes and cook for about 6 minutes until they begin to brown. If they begin to stick, add a couple tablespoons of water to the pan.
- Add the chopped stems of the swiss chard (not the leaves), minced garlic, chili powder, and cumin and cook for about 2 minutes, and season to taste with salt and pepper. If the potatoes are still not cooked through, add a few more tbsp of water and continue to cook.
- Once the potatoes are cooked through, add the drained black beans to the pan and mix to combine. Once the beans are heated through, add the leaves of the chopped swiss chard and mix together. Remove the pan from the heat.
Prepare the Tostada Shells
- Brush the tortillas lightly with olive oil and arrange on a large sheet pan, and cook in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes until crispy. Halfway through cooking, remove from the oven, top with grated cheese, and put back in the oven.
Prepare the Honey Lime Sauce
- While the tostadas are cooking, thoroughly combine the yogurt, lime juice, honey, salt to taste, and 1-2 tbsp of finely chopped cilantro (optional) in a small bowl.
Assemble the Veggie Tostadas
- Assemble your tostadas by topping the cheesy tostada shells with a portion of the potato mixture, a dollop of yogurt lime sauce, and freshly chopped cilantro or other toppings of your choice.
