Mexican food is always a beloved family favorite even amongst picky eaters. We didn’t have that “picky eater” problem in our house growing up (I was that girl bringing in her cold Brussels sprouts for snack in 1st grade), but we enjoyed our fair share of weekly tacos and burritos. They were delicious and easy for my mom to whip up on a weeknight before shuttling me off to my hours of dance practice! I don’t eat actual Mexican dishes as often as I used too (at least “real” Mexican dishes outside of my throwing salsa and chili spices on everything), but when I do, those comforting flavors and satisfying meals always warm my soul.

Funny thing is, I’ve been ticking off gluten-free, allergy-free, and vegan remakes of the “classic” Mexican dishes you might think of. Notably, some taquitos, tamales, and these tostadas. I’d never had tostadas before and never really understood what they “were”. Essentially, they are open-faced hard-shell tacos (aka…taco pizzas!) You know, just a super delicious pile of smiles on a crunchy corn shell!

Tostadas are so easy; no one could mess them up! You don’t even have to do any intricate folding like with burritos or worrying about over stuffing tacos. Some light, fluffy, protein-packed, Success® Tri-Color 100% Quinoa was perfect for a super easy boil-in-bag “meaty” base for these tostadas. Quinoa is one of the best meatless protein sources and when it’s gluten-free too, no-brainer! Mix in some diced tomatoes, peppers, seasonings and top with some zesty coconut yogurt for a perfect gluten-free meatless dinner with minimal mess and fuss!  Essentially, this recipe is “Success is in the bag.®”!

The only messy part about this easy dinner would be the eating! But, my friends, that’s part of the charm that comes with tostadas, tacos, burritos, etc. Get your hands dirty! That must be why Mexican dishes seem to please any and every one! No utensils required (which you know gets the seal of approval by any kiddo!)

    Hi Rebecca,
    These look awesome and very easy to make! I will surely give them a try, maybe even this weekend. It’s great that you’re re interpreting Mexican classic, in vegan and gluten-free variants, since a lot of people are looking for foods like this nowadays!

    Mexican food is also one of our favorites! And we also never had or knew what a tostada was until a few weeks ago, and we love them! So glad to have come across this – thank you for the recipe!

    I haven’t had tostadas in a very long time, and I’ve never had quinoa tostadas, I’m going to make this for dinner tonight 🙂

    These look really tasty! I’ve seen tostadas on a few menus, but never knew what they were either. Thanks for figuring it out for me ?
