These crispy avocado tostadas are a fresh, flavor‑forward way to enjoy simple ingredients with a satisfying crunch. Built on a Carbonaut gluten‑free tortilla, each tostada is toasted until crisp, then layered with smashed avocado and bright lime for a creamy, zesty base.

Finished with diced white onion, tangy pickled cabbage, and a sprinkle of crumbly Cotija cheese, this recipe strikes the perfect balance between smooth and crunchy, fresh and savory. Ideal for a light lunch, easy snack, or share‑worthy appetizer, these tostadas prove that simple preparation can still deliver big flavor.

Ingredients

  • Optional toppings
You can really make these tostadas your own with any toppings you love.  If you’re looking for a vegan alternative to Cotija, we’ve had great results with a quick Cotija‑style crumble made from slivered almonds, lemon juice, olive brine, and salt—just pulse until crumbly and sprinkle on top.

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F
  2. Lightly brush (or spray) both sides of your Carbonaut Gluten Free Tortilla with oil (Canola, vegetable or olive oil) and sprinkle with salt.
  3. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet, laying a wire rack on top to keep them flat.
  4. Bake for 5 minutes, flip, and bake for another 3–5 minutes until golden and crisp.
  5. Meanwhile, smash avocado in a small bowl with fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt until smooth but still slightly chunky.
  6. Once the tortilla is cool to the touch, gently spread the smashed avocado evenly over the crisp tostada.
  7. Layer a sprinkle of white onion, cotija and pickled cabbage.
  8. Add any optional toppings you like and serve immediately for max crunch.
