Chorizo And Artichoke Heart Tostadas Recipes

TOSTADA WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a large pot, to a depth of 2 to 3 inches, and heat to 375 degrees F. Drop in 1 tortilla at a time and fry until crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes, turning once. Remove with tongs, shake off excess oil and transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat for all tortillas.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the chorizo and saute for 3 minutes, or until browned. Spoon out excess fat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute to release its aroma. Add the tomatoes saute an additional minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the anejo cheese.
• To serve, spoon warm chorizo mixture onto crisp tortillas and top with shredded lettuce.

CHORIZO AND EGG TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Combine the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños and brine, cilantro, lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Arrange the tostadas on 2 baking sheets and bake until golden brown, rotating the pans halfway through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven. Divide the refried beans among the tostadas (about 2 heaping tablespoons each); spread evenly, leaving a 1/8-inch border. Crumble the chorizo on top of the beans. Return the tostadas to the oven and cook until the chorizo is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Top with the cheese and continue baking until melted, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and cook until the whites are partially set, 2 to 3 minutes. Cover and cook until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the tostadas among plates. Top with the tomato mixture, fried eggs and more cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
