Fish Tostadas

Looking for a light and healthy meal to start off the new year? Try these fish tostadas packed full of healthy ingredients.

Ingredients:
2 white fish filets (tilapia, cod, etc)
Homemade guacamole
Handmade or natural corn tortillas
Goat cheese
Organic black beans
3 Plum tomatoes diced
1 roasted red pepper
Sea salt for taste


Preparation:
This is a quick and easy meal that can be made in under 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to broil and place your corn tortillas on a cookie sheet and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray, then set aside.

Cook your fish in a skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil and add in the diced tomato. Cover the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes until the fish is flaky. Once cooked, place the tortillas under the broiler until slightly toasted (do not burn them!).

Now you can start assembling - some guac, a piece of fish, some sliced roasted red peppers, a little goat cheese, topped with the hot tomato and a bit of black beans. Garnish with cilatro and serve immediately!

Enjoy!
