“They” say you should eat an apple a day – but according to everyone’s Instagram feeds these days, I think we can all agree that the almighty avocado is the way to go. I don’t care if they’re trendy or not, the good fat that you get from avocados always makes for a delicious, nutrient-dense meal or mid-day snack. In an effort not to show you yet another version of avocado toast – I have the next best thing – the avocado tostada. It’s like avocado toast in disguise. I baked organic corn tortillas until crispy, layered them with an ancho chile pumpkin spread and topped them with crispy veggies, slices of Hass avocado, and a few pinches of sea salt.
If you’ve been following for long, then you understand my serious love for avocados. When I’m trying to avoid saturated fats, I sub in avocado instead of butter on my toast, or instead of cheese on my tacos… you get the idea (and if you don’t here are 61 other instances).
Today, we’re working with the The Hass Avocado Board to help spread the message that diets rich in fibrous foods (like avocados) potentially reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
