Loads of ripe mango and avocado piled on a tostada. Add some zippy corn black bean salsa and some lettuce to this and you have a healthy treat packed with fiber and antioxidants. Add some chipotle lime shrimp and you have a complete meal. My #SundaySupper team is celebrating Mexican Independence Day and we are all cooking Mexican ! I love Mexican food : beans, fresh herbs, chile, avocados… everything about it makes me smile ! I can eat Mexican everyday I think 🙂 ! I have never made tostadas before so this was a first . A tostada is essentially a fried or toasted tortilla that is filled with goodies. One of the things that I really like about tostados, tacos, fajitas etc is the fact that there are so many different ways to rearrange the ingredients and customize it into different packages so that you can have something new and interesting each time while still enjoying your favorite flavors. My family created different tostadas and I have pictured them below. You can make your own tostadas by baking or frying a small tortilla or soft taco. Translating this into Indian cuisine you can fry or bake a small chapati or puri. Then, layer it up with stuff you want. One tip while fixing tostadas is to ‘NOT’ load it up the way we did 🙂 ! Makes it a tad difficult to eat. If you do too, no worries ! Just be prepared to use your hands to sop up the goodies with a piece of tostada . I used my Black Bean and Corn Chipotle Salsa for this ensemble. We had such fun fixing and eating our tostadas. Hope you enjoy the pictures !
Nutrition Wise !
I consider tostadas a healthy high fiber treat if you use the right ingredients ! Bean are a Nutrition powerhouse packed with antioxidants and phytochemicals. I love beans so much I dedicated a post to them ! Avocados are bursting with healthy mono-unsaturated fats and omega 3 while mangoes are a store house for vitamins A, C and K. Add some lycopene friendly tomatoes to this and you have a healthy balance of nutrition. The shrimp give it a nice boost of protein, but even without that it’s a balanced snack/meal !
Setting up a Tostada Bar ! In our deck !
My husband can’t do avocados ! He’s allergic ! He loaded up on shrimp 🙂 !
My youngest doesn’t like shrimp and made hers with lotsa mangoes ! Looks vegan !
My oldest and me had a little bit of everything !

Hi there! I’m Sunithi, AKA Sue, a registered dietitian with a sweet tooth and a passion for eating healthy (quite a combo) currently working as an independent consultant in the DC Metro area. I’m also a blogger, health nut, nutrition geek who jogs to keep sane :)! I love to revamp recipes and add some ‘Nutrition Bytes’ to them. All my recipes are gluten free! I also blog on natural health and fitness! Visit often and drop me a note if you have any nutrition queries!
I would like to eat this now. Yum!
The last time I made shrimp my daughter picked out all of my shrimp and ate them herself so I feel cheated and have been wanting to get them again. This sounds perfect, and this time I will be smart and get enough for her to eat her own portion.
Bright, beautiful, and a feast for the eyes and stomach. Delish!!
Yummmmmm! Coming over sue !
Awesome flavors Sue!
Yummo! So fresh, and I know my husband would go crazy for the chipotle shrimp!
I could eat four! 😀
Avocados and mangoes in a tortilla, I love it! Happy sunday Sunithi!
OMG, this is fantastic looking and so are your photos!!
This is my kind of dish. So many yummy, but healthy flavors!
Wow those have so much delicious stuff on them!!! I can’t wait to try them. Thanks for sharing!
I could eat Mexican every day and be one happy girl! This looks so fresh and full of flavor with the mango and avocado!
My daughter would love this. She loves anything shrimp!
These are GORGEOUS tostadas…the colors are just so inviting! I seriously would not be able to stop eating them, they sound amazing!
I can’t wait to try this beautiful recipe! Love those orange plates and the photography.
I want these now!!!! Cannot wait to try these out at home. Thanks for sharing!
What is more important to make everyone at home happy with the food. A recipe that can cater for all! Sue, this is a great recipe and thanks so much for the nutrition information too.
Wow this looks so good. I have been eating Mexican Food all week and I still want more. Going to make this one 🙂
I love your tostada bar! I would piled everything mile high onto my tostada too!
be creative to mix ingredients in this dish is really good idea. shrimp is the most I like. so, I’ll use it to make my tostadas.
The fact that the title of this includes the word ‘zippy’ makes me want this even more! Loving that shot with the shrimps…holy YUM!
Oh this filling has lots of yummy stuff in it! Definitely something I’d make, whether it’s in these tostadas or in tacos or even fajitas.
Sounds and looks delicious! And being healthy is a great bonus!
This dish looks really wonderful as a way to introduce younger kids to new foods that they haven’t experienced before, Sunithi. I think the colours and the fun of ‘making it all’ yourself would be really appealing. I’ll be sure to add it to my collection1 🙂
I’ll do just about anything to get more mango into my diet! I’m also a monster shrimp fan so I’m feeling I’m going to get a fair bit out of this particular post! Great work with the images too – great way to really drive home how delicious all of this can be! Yum!
