Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small jalapeño
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 large lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Brush both sides of each corn tortilla lightly with olive oil.
Place the tortillas on a baking sheet in a single layer, then bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
While the tortillas bake, prepare the fresh salsa. Dice the tomatoes and red onion into small, even pieces.
Finely chop the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat) and the fresh cilantro.
Combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro in a mixing bowl.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salsa mixture, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
Spread a layer of goat cheese evenly across the surface of each cooled tortilla.
Top each tostada with a generous spoonful of fresh salsa.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
