Ingredients
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil + 1 tsp
  • 1½ lb wild large shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 1½ C chopped kale or romaine lettuce
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained - can also use refried beans if you prefer
  • 2 roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced thin
  • 1 large avocado, chopped - use two if you love avocado like we do!
  • ½ C cilantro, chopped
  • 2 limes, cut into wedges
  • ⅓ C 0% greek yogurt or sour cream
  • kosher salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush the 2 Tbsp of olive oil on both sides of corn tortillas and place on sheet pan. Cook 4-5 minutes, flip and cook the other side 4-5 minutes.
  2. Preheat large skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tsp of olive oil in skillet. Season both sides of shrimp with kosher salt. Sear shrimp for approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
  3. Assemble tostadas - we like to smash the beans slightly before so they don't fall off of the tostada. Spread beans on the base of the tostada. Add chopped lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, jalapeno, shrimp and cilantro. Top with a dollap of freek yogurt or sour cream and squeeze a lime or two over the top.
*Other optional ingredient toppings - black olives, corn, bell peppers, salsa, cotija cheese. Get creative and use ingredients you love!
