Keto Tostadas On Cheese Crisp Tortillas. Thought perhaps while I was making the Seafood Cerviche with all its wonderful fruits de mar it might be nice to make a companion recipe and instead of using high carby tortillas I would make them with large fried cheese crisps. Pretty cool huh? Now a lot of tostadas recipes call for some kind of slaw but you know what, I think slaw on a tostada is just a filler for other wonderful things you can put on them. You will need Crème Fraîche or sour cream to finish. If you are interested in a complete meal on a plate then Keto Tostadas On Cheese Crisp Tortillas are your answer.

- 8 Oz Grated cheddar Cheese
- 1 Lb Fresh White Fish (Tilapia Is Easiest And Least Expensive)
- 3 Juiced Limes
- 2 Small Jalapeno Peppers Very Finely Diced
- ½ C Small Diced Tomatoes
- ½ C Minced Cilantro
- ¼ C Thinly Sliced Purple Onions
- ¼ C Small Diced Orange Pepper
- 2 T Minced Green Onions
- ½ C Guacamole (Either What You Make Or Your Favorite Store Bought)
- ¼ C Crème Fraîche (Or Sour Cream)
- Heat a 7” bottomed sauté pan to medium low, sprinkle in 2 oz. of cheese to cover bottom, and slowly cook until bubbly, crispy and it releases from pan.
- Remove quickly from pan onto a flat surface to cool and parchment paper works perfectly. Repeat 3 times.
- Cut fish into ½” cubes and put into lime juice for about 20 minutes stirring occasionally and when ready to use drain the lime juice. (Save it to dilute your Mexican Crema)
- Mince and chop all vegetables.
- To assemble your tostadas put down cheese crisp, then seafood. Artfully place vegetables and guacamole, finishing with the Mexican Crema. Making Mexican Crema is as easy as thinning crème fraiche or sour cream with leftover lime juice from your marinated fish or seafood.

- Make your crisps ahead of time if wanted. If you live in a dry area (I do not) they will be OK stacked on the counter. Otherwise gently stack, plate uncovered, and refrigerate until ready to use.
- If you have never made crème fraîche please, please at least look at the recipe as it is ridiculously easy to make and store.
- But as everyone else says you can also use sour cream and rest assured they are not the same.
