Tex-Mex Crunch Tostadas
If you’re after bold flavour, a riot of colour, and a satisfying mix of textures in every bite, these Tex-Mex Crunch Tostadas deliver in spades. Crisp, golden tostada shells are loaded with a vibrant medley of sweet, savoury, spicy, and tangy toppings — the kind of meal that feels both refreshing and indulgent.
At the heart of the dish is the Taylor Farms Southwest Chopped Salad Kit — a ready-to-go blend packed with green cabbage, romaine lettuce, carrots, green onions, and crunchy toppings, all perfectly coated in a creamy cilantro dressing. Layer it onto crispy tostada shells (store-bought or homemade) for an effortless, flavour-packed base.
Sweet, juicy mango slices pair beautifully with matchstick-cut jicama, adding tropical brightness and cool crunch. Crispy lentils — whether store-bought or quickly pan-fried — deliver unexpected texture that rivals even the best croutons or tortilla strips.
A sprinkle of crumbly, salty cotija cheese adds richness, while a drizzle of chili crisp brings smoky heat and a satisfying sizzle, giving each bite a spicy little pop. Serve with lime wedges for that final citrusy burst to brighten every flavour.
These tostadas are endlessly snackable — perfect as a quick weeknight dinner, a party-ready appetizer, or a vibrant weekend lunch. They capture the spirit of Tex-Mex flavours in a fresh, modern, and irresistibly crunchy way.
