Preparation
Make the tostadas
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Arrange the tortillas on a sheet pan drizzled with oil.
- Lightly drizzle the tortillas with oil and season with S&P.
- Cover with a second sheet pan and bake, 7 to 9 min., until the tortillas begin to crisp.
- Set aside to cool.
Pickle the onions
- Meanwhile, juice the lime.
- In a medium bowl, microwave the onions, 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P, 15 to 30 sec., until the liquid is slightly warm.
- Add the lime juice; stir well.
Make the 'ceviche'
- Medium-dice the chayote.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
- Pick ½ the cilantro leaves off the stems; roughly chop the remaining leaves and stems.
- In a large bowl, combine the chayote, chickpeas, apples, chopped cilantro, pickled onions (including the liquid), a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Make the avocado cream & serve
- In a small bowl, combine the avocado purée, sour cream and S&P.
- Divide the tostadas between your plates.
- Spread with the avocado cream.
- Top with the 'ceviche'.
- Garnish with the remaining cilantro. Bon appétit!
