This recipe for Brussels Sprout Tostadas is sure to become your new favorite week-night Mexican meal!

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?

• ½ lbs Brussels Sprouts - chopped
• ½ red onion - chopped
• 1 fresh jalapeno - chopped
• 6-7 corn tortillas
• 1 Avocado
• 1 lime
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt & chili powder
• dash of pepper
• Preferred Salsa
• Queso Fresco
• 2 tablespoon olive oil

HOW DO I MAKE BRUSSELS SPROUTS TOSTADAS?

The traditional way to make crunchy Tostada shells, is to fry the tortillas. However, I prefer to bake small corn tortillas.

Start by spraying both sides of the tortillas with cooking spray. You can use olive oil spray, vegetable spray, avocado spray, or preferred. Bake in a 400F oven for about 8-10 minutes on each side, until slightly brown and crispy.

Remove and let them cool completely.

Place the chopped Brussels sprouts, onion and jalapeno on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Top with garlic salt, cumin, chili powder and pepper. Bake at 400F for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until everything is tender and slightly crispy.

In a small bowl, mash avocado with the juice of 1 lime. Set aside.

To assemble the tostadas, start by spreading avocado mixture on each of the baked shells.

Next, top with the roasted Brussels sprouts. Garnish with preferred salsa and queso fresco.

Bring your dinner to a whole new level of flavor with this easy recipe for Brussels Sprouts Tostadas.
