PrintEasy Tostada Sombreros
- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Cook Time: 5 mins
- Total Time: 20 mins
- Yield: 2 Tostada Sombreros 1x
Ingredients
- 2 corn tortillas, baked or fried until crisp
- 1 avocado, smashed with the juice of 1 lime wedge
- 1/4 c. green bell peppers, diced
- 1/4 c. red bell peppers, diced
- 1/4 c. yellow bell peppers, diced
- 1/4 c. black olives, diced
Instructions
- Either bake (at 375 degrees) or fry up your corn tortillas in a skillet until lightly browned. Allow to cool down and firm up some more.
- Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out some smashed avocado onto each tostada.
- Layer with each bell pepper color and then outline with black olives.
- Serve with a healthy serving of beans and Cauliflower Spanish Rice (optional)
Recipe notes:
If your child does not like black olives (gasp), you can always just use black beans in it’s place. And…AND if your family isn’t a fan of guacamole (double gasp), you can use my Spanish cauliflower rice or regular ol’ rice for the mound. See? The alternatives are vast and this recipe is welcoming for all.
Serve with some protein (either some beans or even my quinoa taco meat) and now you are your way to getting high-fived by each and every family member. Go you!

Those corn tortillas look so crisp and delicious. I’m so craving something crispy and spicy right now. I’m sure my kids will love this too.

This is exactly what I wanted for cinco de mayo…and cuatro de mayo, and tres de mayo and dos de mayo. Should I go on? 🙂
