Avocado Ranch Tostadas
With mouthwatering toppings like crisp corn, taco-seasoned cheese, cilantro, and a creamy Avocado Ranch Dressing, our Avocado Ranch Chopped Salad Kit is an obvious companion to bold and zesty Mexican-inspired fare.
Just like our other Chopped Salad Kits, it can provide a tasty shortcut to a variety of dishes. In this case, it’s tostada cups! Leave the traditional flat version on the kitchen counter — this recipe creates perfectly portioned tostada cups baked in muffin pans. Fill them with black beans, tomatoes, avocado, and the makings of our Avocado Ranch Chopped Salad Kit, and you’ve got an easy (and portable) weeknight dinner everyone will love (even if it’s just you).
- Total TIME:
- 20 Min
- SERVINGS:
- 3 - 5
Ingredients
- 1 Taylor Farms Avocado Ranch Chopped Kit
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1 Avocado, diced
- 1 cup black beans
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray cups of a standard size 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- Using a circle cookie cutter, cut 2 medium circles out of each tortilla. Press each tortilla circle into a muffin cup. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until tortilla cups are toasted and hold their shape.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss black beans, avocado, chopped tomatoes, and just the salad base and dressing of the Avocado Ranch Chopped Kit. Divide the tossed mixture between the 12 tortilla cups. Top with cheese and corn from the kit. Serve and enjoy!
Wanted: Freshly Made Tostada Seeks Like-Minded Company
Need a few more easy dishes to join the tostada party? We’ve got plenty of ideas.
- Top your tostadas with a zesty citrus ceviche for a fresh twist.
- If you’re in the mood for something heartier, top your tostadas with grilled or shredded chicken seasoned with smoky cumin and chili powder. You’ll probably want some salsa on hand for that one, too (we think green salsa is the superior choice in this instance, but any salsa will do!). Here’s a protein-rich recipe for Shredded Pork Tacos with Carrot Cabbage Slaw that just may do the trick.
- For a veggie-forward option, try serving some roasted bell peppers, zucchini, and corn. A squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of cotija cheese will take the dish to the next level, adding extra richness and brightness.
- Lastly, pair your tostadas with a tangy shrimp salad or a crunchy slaw made with cabbage, carrots, and a lime-cilantro dressing. These toppings add a satisfying contrast to the crispy tostada, making each bite an excellent blend of textures and tastes!
