Wild Veggie Tostadas

Tostada is a Spanish word meaning “toasted”. In Mexico and other parts of Latin America, it is the name of diﬀerent local dishes which are toasted. A common tostada dish in Mexico and the American Southwest tops crispy, ﬂat corn tortillas with beans, vegetables, cheeses, and meats. This vegetarian version marries ﬂavor with color, combining Poblano peppers with kale, purple cabbage, and avocado.
