So tonight I was in the mood for some Mexican food, but wanted a light and healthy spin on it. What do we have here?

Vegetable Tostadas
Serves 2
Ingredients:
2 whole wheat tortillas
1 avocado, diced
1 tomato, diced
1 onion, diced
cilantro, chopped finely
lime juice, squeezed
1 green pepper, diced
1 Cubanelle pepper, diced
1/2 cup Chihuahua cheese, grated
Splash of Frontera taco sauce
Salt
Pepper

Directions:
First, dice the tomatoes, onions, avocado, green pepper and Cubanelle pepper. Set the vegetables aside.
Meanwhile, bring a sautee pan to medium-high heat and add olive oil. Place the onions and all the peppers into the pan. Let cook for about 7 minutes until a nice golden brown. Remove from heat once they are done cooking.
Then, in the same medium sautee pan, bring it to medium-high heat and add olive oil. Place one of the tortillas in the pan. Let cook for about 6 minutes on each side, untiil the tortilla is a nice golden brown color. Repeat for the second tortilla.
Once the tortillas are done cooking, place the sauteed onions and peppers on the tortilla. Top with the tomatoes, avocado, lime juice, cilantro, splash of Frontera taco sauce and Chihuahua cheese. Finish off with salt and pepper.

This was a great vegetarian Mexican dish with all the right flavor combinations. If you want something light and tasty, this makes for the perfect little dinner.
