The pineapple won't get soggy like a tortilla would either, so they're fine to sit out for a bit, especially if you toss the avocado in some lime juice so that it won't brown. Hard to beat, right? If you're entertaining, you could even assemble a few different platters of these with different toppings. And second, you can prep almost everything ahead. There are two big reasons why these tostadas are a major party win: first, there's absolutely no cooking involved (if you use the toppings I've suggested). This is the perfect dish for a summer get-together, and not just because of its fun summery flavors.
But you could certainly use some grilled elements to add some depth and charred flavor. Note that the version I've shown here is entirely no-cook for quick prep and/or hot summer evenings. I'd also stay away from dairy since it's sort of weird alongside pineapple. You'll want something spicy (you'll see below that I suggest marinating the black beans in hot sauce) to counteract that sweetness, and a couple neutral elements to provide freshness (e.g. Use whatever veggies you like! You could even grill the pineapple disks for a lovely charred flavor.Īs you're deciding how you want to top these beauties, just keep in mind that the pineapple is very sweet and very acidic. The options are endless! Your favorite grilled protein would be great instead of or in addition to beans. That's because you can take this idea and use it however you like! Just like you can put pretty much anything in a taco or on a tostada, you can dress these pineapple "tostadas" up with whatever toppings you love. This is one of those "recipes" that's more of an idea rather than a specific list of ingredients and steps. While I really do adore corn tortillas, this is a must-try riff on the classic. Sweet, juicy pineapple is perfectly balanced by spicy black beans, crisp colorful veggies, and luscious avocado. They'll take you on an instant tropical vacation. They eat like a tostada, meaning with a fork and knife, but they're delightfully fresh and summery. In any case, whatever you want to call these, they're darn fun (and easy!). But that said, they're presented in a similar way and feel similar, so I'm using that term very loosely. I've replaced the tortillas with thin, fresh disks of pineapple, so clearly this is not really a tostada. If you're not familiar, tostadas are a fried corn tortilla, lain flat, and loaded up with toppings. We could debate about whether "tostada" is a fair name for these. with pineapple instead of tortillas! Aren't these perfect for Labor Day weekend? Meet my highly non-traditional but very summery take on tostadas. This one comes together in a flash, requires zero cooking, and has such a fun, tropical vibe. Even though we're at the end of summer, I'm still all about fresh, colorful, no-cook meals.
