These were my all time favourite things when I was living in Spain. Barcelona’s Gracia district hosted the City’s BEST by far Mexican restaurant that even my Mexican friends say is the most resemblant of authentic Mexican food cooking in the City..so, being taught well and having high standards when it comes to Mexican cuisine (probably one of my favourites) this recipe was taught to me by my good friend and chef Ernesto Gonzales..Gracias guapo!
Super easy to throw together..(but if like me you like a bit of traditional spice to go with, you will have to find somewhere that sells la salsa Valentina – A MUST HAVE)
Ingredients
| 1 lgAvocado; cut in strips | |
| 8 ozCream cheese; cubed | |
| 3 cBeans, black; cooked very | |
| 12 Tostadas, small | |
| 1 Chile, chipotle; cut in | |
| 1 lgOnions; mincedChopped tomato
Sliced lettuce Fresh corriander Squeeze of lemon |
TO PREPARE:
Heat the beans with the cream cheese, but do not allow the mixture to boil, as the cheese and beans should remain seperate but cook for long enough for the beans to get soft. Lightly mash and spread a layer of the mixture on the tostadas (which you can either shallow fry if you like them crunchy or heat in the oven to get them warm), followed by a layer of onion, avocado, chopped tomato and chile. Then sprinkle with fresh corriander, lettuce and a squeeze of lemon..then of course, add however much Valentina you would like and enjoy!
