Tacos are considered a kings food in my house. Tostadas are flat tacos, right? Well, not really. Tostada means “toasted.” It’s kind-of hard to toast a taco because all the ingredients are wrapped up inside it’s crunchy shell (or soft shell depending on your preference). Tostadas and tacos have very similar (if not the same) ingredients, therefore, we are making room for toasty tostadas at the king’s table! Especially these avocado tostadas!

Happy New Year Friends! This is my first post in 2016, and I’m very excited to start my first full calendar year of blogging. Creative cooking is one of my largest inspirations in the kitchen. I love meals that smash together two ideas to create something new and different, like these vegetarian taco stuffed shells!

I love to make enchiladas because they are simple. Simple ingredients and simple to prep. All you have to do is make your filling, stuff tortillas, and bake! Anyone can do that. This recipe is made almost entirely out of my pantry staples. It’s easy to add to the end of my weeks meal planning because I generally don’t need many ingredients.

I am so excited to share this recipe. Chilaquiles (Chee-la-key-les) is a traditional Mexican dish that is made to use up stale tortillas or tortilla chips. I dislike food waste, therefore I love recipes like this one. Recipes that lend ideas to use up ingredients that you have leftover in your fridge. This recipe is so quick, I almost didn’t get any photos while I was cooking. A great recipe for a busy weeknight!

I needed a quick, single serving, lunch today and this quesadilla hit the mark! I went to the farmers market this morning knowing that I had one tortilla left over in the fridge. I circled like a vulture checking out all the fresh produce trying to decide what I should fill the tortilla with.

Enchiladas are one of my favorite week night dinners. All you have to do is stuff a tortilla, smother in sauce and cheese, and bake. Easy. You can stuff an enchilada with almost anything it seems. However, the more ingredients you use, the more prep work you have. And you need a filling that will hold together instead of tumbling out of the enchilada with every chance.
