This is such a quick and tasty dish! It was a lifesaver last night when I got a much later start on the nightly dinner routine than I normally like to. But because this dish comes together so quickly, my late start was easily made up for, and we still had time to relax and have plenty of family time before bed.
This truly is the perfect meal for a busy night when you need to make a meal fast without sacrificing taste. The most labor-intensive part of this dish is chopping the onion and bell peppers. Pretty easy! From start to finish, this recipe can be done in 30 minutes or less.
We made tostadas with this filling and they were awesome! There are so many other quick and easy things you could do with it though—it would be excellent as a burrito or taco filling, or put the mixture over a bed of lettuce and make a salad. So many possibilities!!
Keep this meal vegan by simply not putting cheese on top when you compile the tostadas, or use a vegan cheese substitute.
But if you’re going to use cheese, grate it yourself! I promise, the taste difference is tremendous, and it only takes a minute.
Enjoy these quick and easy tostadas on a busy weeknight! I hope this recipe is the lifesaver for you it was for me!
