Avocado Shrimp Tostadas
Report
Tostadas are one of my all time favorite dinners because they’re just so damn fun! Plus, I’m kind of obsessed with frying my own tostada shells and then making a few homemade chips for snacking too.

Ingredients
- 4 small corn tortillas
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 ripe avocados
- 3 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 cup refried beans
- 2 ears of corn grilled and kernels removed
- ½ pound medium sized shrimp peeled and de-veined
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup Pico de Gallo

Instructions
- In a skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat until almost smoking. Add the tortillas into the oil, one at a time, and fry on each side for about 2 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with tongs and set aside to dry on a paper towel. Repeat process with other corn tortillas.
- In a small bowl, place the avocado and chives and lime juice. Mash with a fork, season with salt and pepper and set aside.

- Spread the ¼ cup of refried beans on top of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle on the charred corn
- Spread a layer of the mashed avocado chive mixture on top.
