Tostadas

As the school year begins I gravitate toward quick healthy meals for those evenings when there is more activity and I choose to spend less time in the kitchen.
Lots of fun ingredients can go on a tostada shell.
I tend to use whatever vegetables we have available (carrots, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, onions garlic…) plus canned black or pinto beans, cheese, pumpkin seeds, salsa and plain yogurt.
Sauté up some of your vegetables and leave some raw.
Pile it all on top of a warmed tostada shell and enjoy!
*We’ve also used no beans and spread goat cheese, sautéed onions and garlic, kalamata olives, and thin slices of roasted red peppers on top.

If you have an avocado available here is a quick guacamole:
1 avocado
Juice of ½ to 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
Tablespoon of salsa
Teaspoon of cumin or to taste
Mix it together with a fork and add a dollop to the top of your meal.
