Ingredients

  • 1 can of MSC certified sardines in oil
  • 1 cup black whole beans (cooked)
  • ½ cup sliced red onion
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh serrano chili
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • 1 cup chopped tomatillo
  • ½ cup coarsely chopped cilantro
  • Pinch of artisan salt
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro (for topping)

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the onion, chili, and cilantro with lime juice and a generous pinch of salt. Set aside and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. While the onion marinates, remove the spines of the sardines (if present) and roughly chop the filets, keeping the oil from the can.
  3. Add the beans and tomatillo to the bowl with the onion, chili, cilantro, and lime. Mix everything together, and then add the chopped sardines. Stir gently to combine.
  4. On the stove, put the tortilla directly on the fire and let it char on the sides, or toast in a pan until crispy.
  5. To serve: put the sardine mix on top of the tostada, add a slice of avocado, a dash of salt, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
