Why You’ll Love This Recipe
These tostadas are a celebration of seasonal ingredients, featuring succulent shrimp marinated in our special blend of AOOC Cilantro & Onion Olive Oil and Key Lime Balsamic Vinegar. The shrimp are seasoned with Basik’s Taco Seasoning Blend, adding a burst of Mexican-inspired flavors that complement the tangy balsamic and aromatic olive oil.
Paired with a fresh Pico de Gallo made from juicy Roma tomatoes, red onions, jalapeños, and crisp cabbage, these tostadas pack a punch of freshness and crunch. The creamy avocado base adds a smooth texture, while the homemade chipotle sauce provides a perfect kick of heat and smokiness.
Tips for Perfect Tostadas
- Crispy Tortillas: For extra crunch, you can fry the tortillas instead of baking them. Just be sure to drain them well on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Adjust the Heat: Control the spiciness of the dish by adjusting the amount of jalapeños and chipotle sauce used.
- Protein Options: While shrimp is a fantastic choice, feel free to substitute with grilled chicken, fish, or even a plant-based protein for a vegetarian option.
