Hello beautiful people!

My heart still so broken after the devastating earthquakes that hit several towns in my beloved country Mexico. Thousands of people lost their home and their loved ones.

Being so far away from home at this difficult moment, makes me feel so vulnerable and impotent. The last previous weeks I’ve been so anxious, sad, angry and very, very sensitive.

I don’t remember feeling like that before in my entire life and I just don’t know how to fix myself again

In Mexico when hard times arise we use to say “Panza llena, corazon contento” (When tummy is full the heart is happy) so I decided to make these Guacamole & cream Mexican Tostatidas (flat taco shells) to cheer up myself a little bit and guess what, it worked

I love cooking Mexican food, it has the attribute to make people happy so I believe it’s a good start to feeling better.

The following recipe is a little personal tribute to my country Mexico an it’s beautiful, compassionate and brave people.

I might be so far in distance from Mexico but my heart is closer than ever. I keep praying for you Mexico, I keep strong for you.

Enjoy the recipe!

From Sonora, Mexico to the World

This recipe is originally from the northern state of Sonora, Mexico. It’s super simple and very yummy. The best thing of this recipe is that there is not cooking involved only some quick chopping and ensemble work.

These tostaditas are great as an entree for a Mexican dinner or as a snack for anytime of the day. They are also the perfect and quickest Mexican finger food for any party or special event.

I suggest to serve and eat the Guacamole & cream tostaditas immediately after preparation in order to keep their natural crunchiness.
A soggy tostada will be a horrible experience we don’t want to give to ourselves or to our guests so keep an eye on it.

What do you need

To make these amazing recipe I bought Ranchero tostadas from my local Woollies in Sydney. I know that they are available in many different supermarkets and food stores across Australia but check their website for a more precise information.

You can also buy tostaditas online from La Tortillera or from El Cielo. These two Australian/Mexican companies make authentic Mexican corn tortillas, corn chips and tostadas.

Once you have got your tostadas, you are ready to prepare the guacamole, which is the main ingredient in this recipe. Click here to follow my easy guacamole recipe from a previous post.

The complementary ingredients to ensemble your tostaditas and make them look beautiful and succulents, are fresh cream, feta cheese, lettuce and pickled jalapenos. If you don’t do dairy like me, you might like to replace these two ingredients for a non-dairy version but I personally prefer to skip these ingredients. The guacamole is already full of flavour so you won’t miss this at all.

For a mild version of this recipe just omit the pickled jalapenos but if you are more on the spicy side, you can add a little bit of the jalapeno juice from the jar/can plus the jalapenos. It will give an extra hit and a delicate tangy flavour to your dish. You’ll love it!
