  • 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded Oaxaca cheese

⏱️ Cooking Time: 15 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn tortillas, cooking them one at a time, until they develop golden brown spots and a slight crispiness, about 1-2 minutes per side. This enhances their flavor and gives them a sturdy base. If tortillas puff up, gently press them down with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
  2. 2.
    Spread a generous layer of tomatillo salsa over each tortilla. The salsa acts as a flavorful base, adding moisture and tangy flavor that complements the creamy toppings.
  3. 3.
    Distribute the sliced avocado evenly across the tortillas. Arranging the avocado in a fan pattern not only looks appealing, but also ensures even distribution in each bite.
  4. 4.
    Sprinkle shredded Oaxaca cheese evenly on top of the avocado and salsa layer. The cheese will add a creamy richness. For a more melted effect, cover the skillet with a lid for a minute, allowing the cheese to soften under the gentle steam.
  5. 5.
    Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, which adds a bright, citrusy note and enhances the Mexican-inspired flavors of the dish. Serve immediately for the best texture, as the tostadas will soften if left too long.
