Steps:

  • To make the tomatillo salsa:
  • Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Add tomatillos; sauté 3 minutes. Add broth. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until tomatillos are soft, about 8 minutes.
  • Blend tomatillo mixture and cilantro in food processor until almost smooth. Transfer to bowl. Mix in chili powder. Season with hot pepper sauce and salt. Cover; chill up to 2 days.
  • To make the tomato-chili salsa:
  • Place chilies in bowl. Cover with hot water. Soak until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain. Cut open; scrape out seeds. Cut off stems and coarsely chop chilies.
  • Blanch tomatoes in boiling water for 20 seconds. Drain and peel. Cut in half; squeeze out seeds. Chop tomatoes.
  • Combine chilies and 3/4 cup tomatoes in processor; puree until smooth. Transfer to bowl. Mix in remaining tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, garlic, sugar and cumin. Season with salt. Cover; chill up to 1 day.
  • To make the tortillas:
  • Line baking sheet with paper towels. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla; fry until crisp and golden, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer tortilla to paper towels and drain. Repeat frying and draining with remaining tortillas.
  • To make the grilled vegetables:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Mix olive oil, garlic, chili powder and salt in large bowl. Pour 1/4 cup oil mixture into small bowl and reserve. Add zucchini, bell peppers and eggplant to oil mixture in large bowl; toss to coat.
  • Grill zucchini, bell peppers and eggplant in batches until light brown, about 3 minutes per side. Place on baking sheet. Cover with foil. Brush mushrooms and onion rounds with reserved 1/4 cup oil mixture. Grill until light brown, about 3 minutes per side. Place on baking sheet with other vegetables.
  • Meanwhile, transfer tortillas to clean baking sheet and rewarm in oven until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Place 1 tortilla on each plate. Top with vegetables. Serve with salsas.

Overall, these grilled veggie tostadas were a solid dish. I would definitely make them again, but I would make a few adjustments to the recipe.

The tostadas were easy to make, but the results were a bit bland. I would recommend adding more seasoning or using a different salsa.

The grilled vegetables were a bit too charred for my taste, but the overall flavor of the tostadas was still good.

I substituted black beans for the avocado, and it turned out great! This recipe is very versatile and adaptable to personal preferences.

The two salsas were the perfect complement to the tostadas. The green salsa added a refreshing brightness, while the red salsa brought a bit of heat.

I'm not typically a fan of grilled vegetables, but these tostadas changed my mind. The veggies were perfectly charred and flavorful.
