Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place 4 corn tortillas on a baking sheet and brush each with 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Bake for 8 minutes until golden and crisp.
  2. Step 2: Cut 2 avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a bowl. Add 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp fresh dill. Mash until smooth but still slightly chunky, then stir in 1/4 cup crème fraîche until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Arrange 1/4 of the avocado mixture on each warm tortilla. Top with 1 oz smoked salmon (about 28g), 1/4 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and 1/2 tbsp capers. Sprinkle with additional fresh dill and serve immediately.

How do I scale Avocado & Smoked Salmon Breakfast Tostadas for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
