Tostada is a Spanish word meaning “toasted”. In Mexico and other parts of Latin America, it is the name of different local dishes which are toasted. A common tostada dish in Mexico and the American Southwest tops crispy, flat corn tortillas with beans, vegetables, cheeses, and meats. This vegetarian version marries flavor with color, combining Poblano peppers with kale, purple cabbage, and avocado.
