    Fiesta Tostadas (Mexican Pizza)

    How to Make Fiesta Tostadas (Mexican Pizza)

    This recipe, which can also be called Mexican Pizza, was inspired by an idea from author Aviva Goldfarb’s friend, Jill Rabach. It marries two recipes that are kid-favorites: tacos and pizza. Aviva’s family liked them so much that she had to make another batch immediately, so she just doubled the recipe!

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. DO AHEAD OR DELEGATE: Slice the olives or sausage if using, and shred the cheddar cheese if necessary, and refrigerate.
    2. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with silicone baking mats or nonstick cooking spray. Put the tortillas on the baking sheets, spread a thin layer of refried beans on each (about 2 tablespoon per tortilla), and top each tortilla with about 1 tablespoon beans, 1 tablespoon avocado, 1 teaspoon corn, 1 teaspoon olives, and 1 tablespoon cheese (we like them best when spread lightly with the refried beans and not overloaded with toppings).
    3. Bake for about 10 minutes until the tortillas get browned and crunchy. (Meanwhile, make the ranch dressing and cut up the vegetables, if you are serving them.) Serve the tostadas immediately.

    Farrotto with Roasted Vegetables and Tilapia

    How to Make Farrotto with Roasted Vegetables and Tilapia

    Farrotto is a version of risotto. It’s just made with the whole grain farro instead of white rice!


    20 min prep time


    4servings


    1 ¼ cups farrotto + 1 tilapia filet

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
    2. In a large bowl, toss together the asparagus, eggplant, mushrooms, thyme, garlic, salt (optional), pepper, and all but 1 Tsp. olive oil. Pour the mixture into one layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    3. While the vegetables are roasting, heat the chicken broth in a saucepan to just a simmer. Then reduce heat to keep warm.
    4. Add 1 Tsp. olive oil to another saucepan over medium heat. Add the farro and sauté for 2-3 minutes to toast.
    5. Add 1/2 cup of hot broth to the farro and stir constantly until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat this process until only 1/2 cup of broth is left. Stir in the last 1/2 cup broth and all but 1 Tbsp. of parmesan cheese.
    6. When the vegetables have roasted for 40 minutes, turn the oven to the broil setting, add tilapia filets to the top of the vegetables, and sprinkle each filet with remaining parmesan cheese.
    7. Broil the fish on top of the vegetables for 6-7 minutes, ensure the cheese does not burn and the fish is just cooked through.
    8. Remove fish from vegetables and set aside. Stir roasted vegetables in to farrotto, then serve the fish on top of farrato.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. To poach eggs, bring about 3 inches of water to boil in a large, shallow skillet over high heat. Turn off the heat and add eggs at once by breaking them directly into the water. Immediately cover pan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow eggs to cook undisturbed until done as desired, about 4 minutes. Remove the eggs with a perforated spatula or large slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

    2. Add the cooking spray and oil to a sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté the spinach until wilted. Stir in the garlic and sauté 1 additional minute.

    3. Prepare a double boiler with a heat-proof bowl. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, and vegetable broth, whisking constantly until hot but not curdled. Remove from heat and whisk in yogurt, salt (optional), and pepper.

    4. Top each English muffin half with 1/4 of spinach mixture, one poached egg, and 2 Tbsps. sauce.
