Notes
How to make tostada shells: I like to make my own tostadas with corn tortillas. Brush the tortillas with avocado oil on both sides and bake them on a parchment-lined sheet pan at 400°F for 5 minutes on each side. Hit them with a little pinch of salt right out of the oven. They’ll come out hot and perfectly crispy — way better than any store-bought tostada!
My quick homemade guac recipe: 2 large avocados mashed, juice of 1 lime, juice of ½ an orange (or another lime), 3 tablespoons diced red onion, ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, and sea salt to taste.
