Hello hello! Welcome to a new week! I’m in California for a few weeks for work, so follow me on social media for updates and travel pics! But otherwise, stay tuned because I have some awesome recipes heading your way, including this recipe — Chicken & Cauliflower Tostadas!

I made these tostadas back on/around Cinco de Mayo and they were a huge hit in my house! You could have these instead of tacos for taco Tuesday…just sayin. 😉 Easy and versatile, these tostadas are a great recipe to have in your arsenal because you can change up any of the toppings and really make them your own. So lets get started!

The chicken and the cauliflower in this recipe are seasoned exactly the same, so you really can’t tell the difference between the two when compared side by side. I love making veggie dishes that have the same flavor and texture as meat ones so you really don’t miss the meat. The only thing that is different, preparation wise is that I roasted the cauliflower and pan seared the chicken. You could of course use one method for both, but I like the crispy texture of the roasted cauliflower because it mimics the seared chicken so well.

Assembly:

When assembling the tostadas, I kept the chicken and cauliflower separate, but you could pile them onto the same tostada. Speaking of the tostadas, tostada is a Spanish word meaning “toasted”. In Mexico and other parts of Latin America, it is the name of various local dishes which are toasted or use a toasted ingredient as the main base of the preparation. So you could make your own from stale tortillas, simply by roasting them or frying them lightly in oil. I bought mine from whole foods, but if you have time, I highly recommend making them at home! Even better if you have homemade tortillas. 🙂

So as you assemble or create your own tostadas, remember, skies the limit! I just have a few suggestions in the Chicken & Cauliflower Tostadas recipe below. So go forth and cook!

See ya next time!
