Smashed Avocado, Black Bean, and Corn Tostadas with Chipotle Crema

I know one fashion to brand Mon improve…these tostadas. Crispy corn tortillas, freshly fried inward a skillet as well as sprinkled alongside flaky ocean table salt, the near refreshing corn too dark bean salsa alongside lime and cilantro, smashed avocado, a chipotle drizzle, in addition to more than sliced avocado on elevation…because we tin never take enough.


This salsa is incredibly simple too fresh. No grilling of the corn is necessary (although it would live delicious), simply sometimes I just love raw, fresh corn right off the cob. It’s and then full of texture together with sweetness. I’1000 putting it inwards every summertime meal I can.

I’m typically a taco over tostada sort of girl. I rarely always brand tostadas, only this recipe has me asking myself why the heck not?! SO darn skillful. I actually lightly pan fried the tortillas inward a fiddling fossil oil and they become super crispy together with delicious. I have tried baking them, but it really doesn’t yield the same result. You aren’t deep frying here, but using a couple tablespoons of olive rock oil or veg crude.

In my globe, at that place is never as well much avocado. The avocado smasher on these tostadas is pretty much a version of guac, only I added a niggling cumin too chili pulverization for flavour. Then, I topped these alongside more than sliced avocado. I think yous become the film.

Can’t forget virtually the chipotle crema. I brand a version of this oft with tacos or burrito bowls. Instead of using sour cream, I role Greek yogurt to lighten it upwardly. I like the tartness mixed alongside the smoky chipotle in addition to tangy lime. I similar things spicy, and so I used ii tablespoons of the chipotle in adobo sauce, only yous tin can purpose one if you lot similar things mild.

These would be perfect for meatless Monday, AND taco Tuesday of grade. Margaritas and chips together with guac always take their place, as well. Serious dream meal. I know I enjoin this all the time, but I could actually swallow Mexican food every unmarried twenty-four hours.
