BAKED TOSTADAS

Steps:

CHICKEN TOSTADAS

Steps:

• To make the tortillas: Pour the oil for frying into a large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 375 degrees F. Add the tortillas, one at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 1 1/2 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to a paper towel-lined pan and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
• To make the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the chicken, lime juice, oil, coriander, and salt and season with pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
• To assemble the tostadas: Preheat the broiler. Spread the beans evenly over one side of each tortilla and sprinkle with some of the cheese. Transfer to a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is lightly browned and melted, about 30 seconds. Divide the tortillas among 6 plates.
• Evenly mound the chicken on each tortilla and top with the lettuce. Top each tostada with avocado, salsa, and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with the scallion and garnish the tostada with the coriander leaves. Serve immediately.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, coriander, and cumin and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, until lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Add the beans and cook, stirring frequently, until thick and amber brown in color, about 4 minutes. Stir in the salt and season with pepper to taste.
• In a small bowl, mix together the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, coriander, salt, and season with pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

• Bake tortillas in preheated oven until crisped on top, about 5 minutes. Flip tortillas and continue baking until other side crisps, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Heat refried beans in a saucepan over medium-low, stirring regularly until hot, about 5 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• Divide refried beans between tostadas and spread over one side of each; spoon ground beef mixture over the beans. Top each tostada with lettuce, Cheddar cheese, and diced tomato.

CHICKEN TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place chicken into a frying pan over medium heat. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and cook until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Spread a thin layer of refried beans onto each tostada shell; sprinkle each with Mexican cheese. Divide cooked chicken on top of cheese layer. Sprinkle tomato, red onion, and bell pepper evenly on top of each tostada. Place tostadas on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove tostadas from the oven. Sprinkle with cilantro and spread salsa and sour cream on top.

TOSTADAS WITH BEANS, CABBAGE AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Drain off about 1/2 cup of liquid from the beans, retaining it in a separate bowl to use later for moistening the beans, should they dry out. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy nonstick frying pan and add ground cumin and chili. Cook, stirring over medium heat, for about a minute, until the spices begin to sizzle and cook. Add beans and cook at a brisk simmer, stirring and mashing with the back of your spoon, a potato masher or a wooden pestle, until they thicken and begin to get crusty on the bottom. Stir up the crust each time it forms, and mix it into the beans. Cook until beans are thick but not dry, 10 to 15 minutes. They will continue to thicken and dry out when you remove them from the heat. Add liquid you saved from the beans if they seem too dry, but save some of the liquid for moistening the beans if you are serving them later. Taste and adjust salt (they probably won't need any as the broth reduces when you refry them).
• Cut tortillas in half. To toast in the microwave, place as many as will fit in a single layer in the microwave and microwave for 1 minute. The tortillas will be moist on the bottom. Flip them over and microwave for another minute. Flip again and zap for 30 seconds to a minute if they are still moist. Continue to zap in 30-second intervals until crisp. Alternatively, deep-fry tortillas in sunflower oil or grapeseed oil until crisp and drain on paper towels.
• Spread a layer of refried beans (about 2 tablespoons) over each tortilla half. Top with cabbage. Spoon salsa over the cabbage and top with sliced or diced avocado, a sprinkling of chopped toasted almonds and a sprinkling of queso fresco.
