What is a Tostada?

A tostada is an authentic Mexican dish that uses a toasted tortilla as the base. In Spanish, tostada means “toasted,” so it is a very fitting name.

Typically, tostadas are topped with some kind of ground meat and all the taco fixings including beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese.

How to Make Vegetarian Tostadas

These vegetarian tostadas come together in 5 simple steps, and under 30 minutes flat. You’ll be enjoying this delicious meal in no time:

STEP BY STEP

1. Prep Tortillas: Spray both sides of your tortilla with nonstick cooking spray, and then broil your tortillas on each side until toasty brown and crispy. Make sure to watch closely so that your tostadas don’t burn.
2. Sauté the Sweet Peppers: Sauté sliced Good & Gather mini sweet peppers, and season with salt and pepper. Only cook your peppers for around 2-3 minutes so that they stay nice and crunchy.
3. Sauté Good & Gather Plant-Based Ground: Sauté plant-based ground 2-3 minutes, and then add salsa, salt, and chili powder. Continue cooking for 5 minutes or until browned.
4. Assemble Tostadas: Spread around 1 tablespoon of guacamole on each tortilla. Then, add 1/4 cup of Plant-Based Ground and 1/4 cup peppers.
5. Enjoy Immediately: Finish these delicious vegetarian tostadas with a fresh squeeze of lime, sliced avocado, and vegan shredded cheese.

Optional Toppings

These tostadas are delicious as is, but feel free to jazz them up with any (or a combo!) of the following optional toppings:

• Fresh lime juice
• Sliced avocado
• Chopped cilantro
• Shredded or cotija cheese
• Greek yogurt or sour cream
• Sliced jalapeños

Make it Vegan

These tostadas can easily be made vegan by skipping a shredded cheese topping and dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream on top. Or simply replace it with any vegan cheese option!

Make it Tacos

Want to skip the broiler and serve these vegetarian tostadas as tacos instead? Go for it! These tostada ingredients can easily be used with soft or hard shell tacos.

Vegetarian Tostadas for Meal Prep

These vegetarian tostadas are great for meal prep, too! Simply prepare the plant-based ground and sweet mini peppers ahead of time, and then broil the tortilla shells right before serving.

The plant-based ground and sautéed mini sweet peppers will keep for 3-5 days when stored in an air-tight container in the fridge.
