Crispy tortilla shells topped with Mexican chorizo, creamy refried beans, fresh veggies, and avocado sauce! These tostadas de chorizo are a popular street food and snack in Mexico, and can also be served as a light meal or appetizer.
Place jalapeño pepper, onions, cilantro, garlic, and ¼ cup of water in a blender or food processor. Blend at high for 1 minute.
Add avocado, lime juice, and salt. Pulse for a couple of times until you desire consistency. Place on a bowl and set aside.
Cook chorizo
Heat the oil in a frying pan over low heat. Add chorizo and cook stirring constantly for 10 minutes or until chorizo gets a little crispy. Place on a bowl and set aside.
Assemble the tostadas
Spread refried beans on each tostada shell and add fried chorizo on top.
Top with lettuce, onions and tomato slices.
Drizzle the guacamole salsa and crumbled cheese on top. Serve immediately.
Notes
Saute the chorizo until it releases its fat and browns slightly. Don’t overcook it, as it can become dry.
Assemble the tostadas just before serving to ensure the shells stay crispy.
