It has been a while so it is time for a lunch recipe. I have made tostadas before but today we make a vegan version. Tostadas are very versatile and adapt to what you like most. Combine flavors that you love and you get a heavenly lunch dish. As this recipe today is vegan I have included a lot of vegetables and some great guacamole and salsa. Want to know how you can make this simple but nutritious Vegan Crunchy Tortilla tostada? Lets get started!
Vegan crunchy tortilla tostada
Tostada is made from flour tortillas and they are like a big sandwich. Just like with a sandwich you can decorate them any way you like. First it is important to get them crunchy. You can get them crunchy by frying them in hot oil for a couple of minutes. When fried in oil they do hold a lot of fat so make sure you let all the excess drain in paper towels. You can put them in the microwave between paper towels heat them on full volume for about 1 minute than repeat with top towel removed. The method I prefer is using cooking spray or oil brushed on both sides of the tortilla and let them get crunchy in the oven.
Vegan crunchy tortilla tostada ingredients
Just like with the crunchy tortilla tostada with tuna I have used mashed Brown Beans on this tostada as well. It is a great base to start with, as it is savory and tasty. To make mashed brown beans start with frying onions, paprika and cumin. If you like you can include garlic and chili peppers. Add about a cup of water and let the brown beans for about 10 to 15 minutes. Take the brown beans of the heat. Secure about 15 brown beans so you can decorate the tostada. Then transfer the remaining brown beans into a bowl and mash the brown beans with at fork. The mashed brown beans are the first layer of the tostadas.
For this vegan version of the tostada I have the following toppings:
- Smooth roasted tomato salsa
- Guacamole
- Iceberg lettuce
- Mushrooms
- Corn
