Ingredients
  

4 corn tostadas

1 cup fresh sweet corn kernels (or drained canned corn)

1 ripe avocado, diced into ½-inch pieces

½ cup Greek yogurt (alternatively, use sour cream)

1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper, to taste

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (plus additional for garnish)

½ small red onion, finely diced

1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional, for heat)

Cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Crumbled feta cheese or cotija (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Corn Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the fresh sweet corn kernels, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well until the corn is fully coated with the dressing. Gently fold in the diced avocado and chopped cilantro, taking care to keep the avocado intact to maintain its creamy texture.

    Toast the Tostadas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the corn tostadas in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown, checking frequently to avoid burning.

      Assemble the Tostadas: Once the tostadas are toasted to perfection, carefully remove them from the oven. Generously spoon the creamy sweet corn and avocado mixture onto each tostada, ensuring an even distribution.

        Add Fresh Toppings: Top each tostada with a sprinkle of diced red onion, chopped jalapeño (if you desire some heat), cherry tomato halves, and extra cilantro for freshness. If you choose, garnish with crumbled feta cheese or cotija for an added layer of flavor and creaminess.

          Serve Immediately: Serve the tostadas right away as a colorful appetizer or a light meal. Enjoy the delightful crunchiness of the tostadas paired with the rich and flavorful toppings!
