3 Levels of Tostadas

Here are 3 levels of tostada. 

Level 1: A Simple Tostada
Top your tostada shell with some refried beans, shredded cabbage, diced red onion, cilantro, jalapeños, queso fresco, and some Valentina. 

Simple, but delicious. We can do better, though. 

Level 2: Poached Shrimp Tostada
Spread your tostada shell with a little mayo and some charred corn guacamole. Top with diced red onion, poached shrimp, smoked tomato salsa, queso fresco, fresh lime juice, cilantro, and diced jalapeño.

This is one hell of a tostada, but you know we can still do better. 

Level 3: Mexican-Style Ceviche Tostada

Add white fish, diced jalapeños and serranos, cilantro with the stems, diced red onion, diced cucumbers, charred corn, poached lobster, poached shrimp, a little salt, pepper, green onion, and fresh lime juice to a bowl and mix well. 

Pop this into the fridge and let all of those flavors marry for a good 3 hours or so. 

In the meantime, mix up some habanero salsa by combining a charred habanero, a charred onion, garlic, vinegar, and water. 

Once it's ready, top your tostada shell with a little mayo, sliced avocado, your ceviche, and your fresh habanero salsa. 

Now this is what I call a good f*cking meal. Definitely give it a try.

The way he said sometimes level one is all you need, the simplicity is comfort and he understands .

I've never wanted to go to Detroit. Now I do

I would be happy with just #1 but when I make tacos or tostadas, I never use the pre-fab shells but instead make the shells by frying them and then filling them. It might be a little bit more time consuming but it's so much better. ❤
