Instructions

Lightly toast the corn tostada in a dry skillet over medium heat until slightly crisp, about 1-2 minutes per side. Alternatively, you can warm it in a toaster oven or air fryer.

Spread the shredded Oaxacan cheese evenly over the warm tostada, covering it almost to the edges.

Sprinkle the seasoned roasted chapulines over the cheese.

In a small bowl, gently toss the diced avocado with lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper.

Spoon the seasoned avocado mixture over the chapulines and cheese.

If desired, top with a tablespoon of salsa roja.
