Veggie and Carne Tostadas

Veggie Tostada
This dish has been a hit with my family for a very long time.  My hubby thinks a meal isn't a meal unless it includes meat, so I add pieces of leftover chicken or meatloaf.  Change up the ingredients to make it your own. ​
Servings: 4-6   Preparation time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
4 cups zucchini, chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup celery, diced
2 medium green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
*4 ounces canned mushrooms, sliced
6 large corn or whole wheat tortillas
2-3 cups Mexican cheese, shredded
2 cups sour cream or plain yogurt
2 tomatoes, chopped
​1-2 cups red or green salsa

* If you omit the mushrooms, you will need to add a bit of water to the mixture while cooking.
Directions
​1. Combine the zucchini, onion, celery, pepper, parsley, and mushrooms in a saucepan. (Do not drain the mushrooms.)
2. Bring to boiling, then simmer covered for about 10 minutes until vegetables are just tender. Drain well.
3. Meanwhile, spread the tortillas on a cookie sheet and spray one side with a non-stick spray. Broil a few minutes until golden. (Watch carefully to prevent burning!)
4. To assemble, turn the tortillas over and top each with about a 1/2 cup of the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and place back under the broiler until the cheese melts.
5. Serve with a bowl of the sour cream or yogurt, a bowl of the tomatoes, and a bowl of salsa.


Note #1: For meat eaters, add bit of left-over meat loaf, chopped turkey or diced chicken to the vegetable mixture.
Note #2: Optional ingredients may included chopped cabbage and black beans

​
​I hope you enjoy this dish. Let me know if you've tried it and how it turned out. ​Good cooking to you,
​Linda

    Linda M. Kurth is the creative mind behind such stories as the romance, Home of the Heart, and her  memoir, God, the Devil and Divorce, as well as the recipes and crafts you'll find in these pages. Here's how this blog began:
    ​
    "This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

    "I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

    "Do it!" they urged. 

    I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
