  • Add chipotle peppers and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well together and cook for 4-5 minutes or until tender.

Quick Guacamole

  • Mash avocados with a fork and add salt and lime juice.  Mix well.

Prepare Tostadas

  • Top tostadas with guacamole then lettuce and tomatoes (if you are using).
  • Add mushrooms, scallions and queso fresco.
    Sprinkle Mexican crema with a spoon over tostadas and add salsa verde to your liking.
    Top each tostada with a lime wedge.  Enjoy!

Notes

If you cannot find Mexican Crema, you can also use sour cream.  Thin ¼ -½ cup with a tablespoon or two of water.  Then sprinkle sour cream over tostadas with a spoon.
For Homemade Tostadas
Recipe states for store bought tostadas but I normally make my own.
To make fresh tostadas, simply fry one or two corn tortillas at a time in a skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil until golden brown on both sides.  Drain on paper towels.  Corn tortillas will harden and now are perfect tostadas.
