4 servings
25 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
  • 1 ½ cups diced red onions, divided
  • 3–4 sprigs fresh cilantro
  • 1 Hass avocado
  • 2 limes, for juice
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 (16 oz) package fully cooked sweet barbecue pork (or beef)
  • 1 ¼ cups shredded Mexican-style cheese blend, divided
  • 8 yellow corn tostada shells

Steps

    1. Place tomatoes and ½ cup onions in medium bowl. Chop cilantro leaves (1 tablespoon) and add to bowl. Cut avocado into quarters, then remove skin and pit and cut into small pieces (about ¾ cup); add to tomato mixture. Squeeze limes for juice (1 ½ tablespoons); stir into tomato mixture and toss to mix.
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and coat with spray. Add remaining 1 cup onions; cook 3 minutes or until onions begin to brown. Stir in pork and 1 cup cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated and meat is 145°F.
    3. Assemble tostadas by topping each shell with ¼ cup meat mixture and ¼ cup avocado salsa; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese. Serve.
