Cooking Tips

  • Pat the Beets Dry: Helps prevent soggy tostadas and keeps toppings from sliding off.
  • Soften the Cheese: Mixing goat cheese with Greek yogurt makes it easier to spread and adds protein.
  • Assemble Just Before Serving: To maintain tostada crispness, assemble immediately before eating.
  • Customize with Toppings: Use arugula for a peppery bite, walnuts for crunch, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a sweet-savoury contrast.
  • Serve Cold or Room Temperature: No cooking required—perfect for warm days or quick meals.
