Make sure the onions are starting to caramelize (soft and golden) and the chorizo is browned before adding the kale. Sour cream spiked with lime zest and juice transforms into a tangy crema. Cook, relax, and enjoy!
What you’ll need:
1 red onion
3 links chorizo
½ oz fresh cilantro
3 oz radish
4 white corn tortillas
3 oz baby kale
1 lime
¼ cup sour cream

Recipe steps:
-
Prep vegetables
Preheat oven to 450ºF. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion through the core. Remove chorizo from casing. Pick large stems from cilantro. Cut radishes into thin wedges. -
Cook chorizo
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium skillet over medium-high. Add onion, chorizo, and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up the chorizo with a wooden spoon, until onions and chorizo are golden brown, about 10 minutes. -
Bake tortillas
Meanwhile, place tortillas on a rimmed baking sheet and brush both sides with 1 tablespoon oil. Bake (without flipping) until they are a dark golden brown, 10–12 minutes. -
Add kale
Add kale and half of the cilantro to the skillet with chorizo mixture; season with ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until kale is wilted, about 2 minutes. -
Make lime crema
Zest lime over a small bowl and add juice of half a lime. Mix in sour cream and 2 teaspoons water; season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut the other lime half into wedges. -
Assemble tostadas
Divide tostadas between 2 plates. Spread half of the crema on the tostadas and top with chorizo and kale mixture. Drizzle remaining crema on top and garnish with remaining cilantro and radish slices. Enjoy!
