Avocado tostadas are quick and easy to prepare. Keep them simple with sliced avocado or guacamole or dress them up with a variety of delicious plant-based toppings! Try these easy avocado tostadas, served up 3 different ways.
How to slice an avocado: Use a knife to cut the avocado into two pieces lengthwise, rotating the avocado as you cut. Then, twist the avocado to separate the two pieces. Carefully strike the avocado pit with the knife (keep your hand/fingers safe and out of the way!), rotate the pit with the knife in it, then pull the pit out and throw it away. Use the tip of the knife to gently cut slices in each avocado half lengthwise. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the avocado slices from the peel.
