Ingredients:
– 2 poblano peppers
– 2 ripe avocados
– 1 small red onion, finely diced
– 1 lime, juiced
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 tostada shells
– 1 cup refried beans
– 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
– Pickled jalapenos, for topping (optional)
– Sour cream, for serving
Instructions:
1. Start by roasting the poblano peppers. Place the peppers on a baking sheet under the broiler and cook, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered on all sides. This should take about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the peppers in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let them steam for 10 minutes.
2. While the peppers are steaming, prepare the avocado mash. Scoop out the flesh of the avocados into a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the finely diced red onion, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Once the peppers have steamed, remove the charred skin, stems, and seeds. Slice the roasted poblano peppers into thin strips.
4. To assemble the tostadas, spread a layer of refried beans on each tostada shell. Top with a generous spoonful of the avocado mixture, spreading it evenly.
5. Arrange the sliced poblano peppers on top of the avocado mixture. Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco over the tostadas.
6. For an extra kick, add pickled jalapenos on top if desired.
7. Serve the tostadas with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
