Grilling brings out the natural flavor and sweetness of zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, eggplant and onion in these savory tostadas. Grill whole wheat tortillas for a crispy base and top with fresh salsa, sliced avocado and a squeeze of lime.
Serves 6
- 1 pound tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 jalapeño pepper, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing tortillas
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 green bell peppers, cored, seeded, and cut into thick strips
- 2 yellow squash, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices
- 2 zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices
- 1 eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 1 large yellow onion, thickly sliced
- 6 (6-inch) whole wheat tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
- Lime wedges for garnish
-
Put tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, black pepper and jalapeños into a medium bowl and toss to combine. Cover and chill.
-
Preheat grill to medium heat. In a large bowl, mix together oil, chili powder, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and garlic. Add peppers, squash, zucchini, eggplant and onion and toss to coat.
-
Working in batches, grill vegetables, flipping halfway through, until tender, 5 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a platter as done. Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with olive oil and grill, flipping once, until just crisp and lightly charred on both sides, about 3 minutes total.
-
Place one tortilla on each of six plates and top with vegetables, salsa and avocados. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

Maddy, Editor says: What a good idea! I'm a big fan of using fresh mango in my salsas, too. Once you try it, it's hard to imagine salsas without some kind of fresh fruit -- peaches and pineapple work well, too. That mix of sweet and spicy is a must.
