Tostadas are one of my favorite weeknight meals. They’re quick, easy, and filled with so much flavor. I had so many roasted Japanese sweet potatoes left over from meal prep 2 nights ago, that I decided to use as the base of my tostada. So this is where I created a whole 30 version of one of my favorite comfort foods.
Luckily, I also had some watermelon radishes in my fridge so I was able to create 2 types of whole 30 tostadas. Pick your poison. You can eat this bad boy for lunch, dinner, or as appetizers since they’re small enough. I promise, these won’t disappoint you or any guests you feed.
Oh, and yes, right after I took these pictures, I ate all but one. They were that delicious.
