List of Ingredients

Touchdown Sausage Tostadas with Chipotle Sauce


1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon chipotle hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
6 (6-inch) corn tortillas
2 tablespoons canola oil, DIVIDED
1/2 cup chopped onion
13-16 oz fully cooked smoked chorizo sausage, sliced in 1/4" pieces
1 10-oz can diced tomatoes with mild green chiles, slightly drained
2 cups grated Pepper Jack cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce


Recipe



1. For the Chipotle Cream Sauce, mix sour cream, chipotle sauce,
lime zest and juice together. Cover and chill.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Brush both sides of 6 tortillas with 1 tablespoon canola oil. Place on
a large baking sheet and bake 10-12 minutes or until tortillas are
slightly browned and crisp.

3. In a medium skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil. Add onions
and sauté until crisp. Add sausage and cook until heated
through. Stir in tomatoes and cook until steaming.

4. Using a slotted spoon, portion chorizo mixture evenly atop 6
crisp tortillas. Sprinkle cheese evenly atop the chorizo. Return
to oven and bake only until cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.

5. Portion lettuce evenly atop melted cheese among tortillas. On
each serving, place a heaping tablespoon of chipotle cream
sauce in the center of the lettuce. Serve immediately with
remaining sauce.
