Pork Tostadas with Avocado & Crema

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
A Tostada is essentially a crispy, open-faced taco, or even better, an edible plate. The name comes from 'toasted', referring to the crunchy corn tortilla base. This dish is a masterpiece of layers: hot, spicy meat ragu, cool, creamy avocado, and refreshing vegetables piled high on a fragile base. Eating it is a challenge, but the flavor explosion makes the messy hands worth it.

Equipment Needed

  • Wide Skillet: For browning the meat.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Brown the ground pork in oil until no longer pink. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté.

2 ✓

Add seasonings and diced tomatoes. Cook until the liquid evaporates and you have a thick ragu.

Tip: The meat mixture must be 'dry', otherwise it will make the crispy tortilla soggy.
3 ✓

Prep the toppings: slice the avocado, chop the cilantro.

4 ✓

Assembly: Spread a little sour cream on the Tostada (acts as 'glue'), pile on the meat, then the avocado and other toppings. Squeeze lime juice over top.

Tip: The acid (lime) cuts through the richness of the pork and cream.
