Recipe of the Day: Tostadas with Fresh Salsa

Here is a tasty super fresh take on the your traditional tostada. I always have corn tortillas in my freezer – that way they are fresh and I can use them whenever the mood strikes. I was thinking it would be fun to make a fresh salsa and use that as the main component of a tostada. I love tostadas – restaurant versions are so heavy though, laden with re-fried beans, cheese, sour cream…I am not a fan. I end up having them make my own version of a healthier version – so I figured, why not make my own!

Here is what I came up with. Feel free to add black beans, shrimp, chicken – your call! This version is just vegetables.

TOSTADAS with FRESH CUCUMBER JICIMA SALSA

Ingredients
3 Roma Tomatoes – diced
1/2 Jicama- diced
1/2 Cucumber – diced
1 Green onion – just the green parts
1/2 Red onion – chopped
2 Tbsp Cilantro
1/2 Jalapeño chopped
Olive Oil  – 1 Tablespoon or to taste – depends how oily you like it.
1/2 lime for the juice
Sea Salt & Pepper
Corn Tortillas

Directions
Chop all ingredients add your oil, lime, s&p – cover and let meld for at least 30 minutes.

For the corn tortillas, I like to cook them on top of the stove over the gas flame until they become crispy – this way involves no oil!

Now just top your tortilla with the delicious fresh salsa, drizzle with your favorite hot sauce and maybe even a sprinkle of cotija cheese!

**remember you can add any protein you like as well.

Enjoy!
