Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, rinsed
1 lime
8 sprigs cilantro
¼ cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
Kosher salt
2 links fresh chorizo (about 8 oz. total), casings removed
4 tostada shells

Steps:

  • Measure out ½ cup chickpeas; reserve remaining chickpeas for another use. Finely grate zest of lime into a small bowl. Cut lime in half and squeeze juice from one half into bowl with zest. Cut remaining half into wedges; set aside for serving.
  • Gather cilantro on a cutting board. Starting at the stem end, finely chop until you get to the leaves; reserve leaves for serving. Add stems to bowl with lime. Add yogurt to bowl and mix well. Season with salt.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Cook chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until partially cooked, about 3 minutes. Add chickpeas and season with salt. Cook, mashing some of the chickpeas with spoon until chorizo is cooked through and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Spread yogurt mixture over tostada shells. Top with chorizo mixture, then with reserved cilantro leaves. Serve with reserved lime wedges for squeezing over.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of chorizo. The tostadas were still delicious!
