Equipment

  • Frying pan

Ingredients

For the tostadas

  • 4-6 miniature tortilla wraps
  • 250 ml vegetable oil

For the filling

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 400 g black beans drained, liquid reserved
  • 1 red chilli seeded and cut into small pieces
  • 2 Zespri SunGold kiwis peeled and diced

For the topping

  • 200 g Greek yoghurt
  • 2 Zespri SunGold kiwis peeled and diced
  • 1 red chilli seeded and cut into small pieces

Method

  • Start by making the tostadas. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan ensuring there’s enough oil to comfortably cover the base of the pan. The oil should be sizzling but not smoking. If you have a thermometer, aim for around 170oc.
  • Use tongs to carefully place the tortilla into the oil and cook for 30-45 seconds. After this, flip the tortilla and repeat on the other side.
  • Remove from the pan and leave to cool. Sprinkle with a light pinch of salt. Repeat this process for all tortillas.
  • Once done, create the filling. Start by heating the oil in a frying pan and cook the diced onion for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the beans, the reserved bean liquid and the chilis. Mash the beans with a fork, leaving some whole for texture and cook for 5 minutes. Stir often to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan. Mix in the diced kiwis and cook for 2 minutes. By this time, the mixture should have thickened a little.
  • Place the tostada shells on a chopping board or serving plate and scoop a large spoonful of the black bean mix onto each tostada.
  • Leave to cool for a couple of minutes and then add a small spoonful of Greek yoghurt to each tostada.
  • Top with the remaining diced kiwi and chilli and serve.
