Potato Tostadas – A Crisp Celebration of Irish Healing

Plant-Based • Anti-Viral • Comforting

Healing Highlights

• Potatoes (Rooster or Maris Piper) are rich in amino acids that inhibit viral growth and provide clean glucose to strengthen the liver and build glycogen stores.
• Cilantro binds to heavy metals and neurotoxins, helping reduce inflammation and neurological symptoms.
• Avocado calms irritated nerves and supports thyroid hormone balance with its copper and glucose profile.
• Garlic is a potent antiviral and antibacterial that helps flush out EBV and strep-related toxins.

Ingredients

Tostadas:

• 4–5 small corn & gluten-free tortillas
• ½ cup diced onion
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 lb Irish potatoes, peeled and diced
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp chili powder
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp sweet paprika
• ½ cup water
• ½ cup shredded red cabbage
• ½ cup diced red pepper
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• Sea salt to taste (optional)
• Lime juice to serve

Avocado Sauce:

• ½ cup ripe avocado
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
• ½ cup water
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• Sea salt (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake tortillas directly on the rack for 2–4 minutes until crisp. Watch closely to prevent burning.
2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 3–5 minutes. Add garlic, potatoes, and spices. Cook 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add water, cover, and cook 10–15 minutes until potatoes are soft and water evaporates. Add more water if needed.
4. Blend avocado sauce ingredients until smooth.
5. To serve, layer potatoes on tostadas. Top with cabbage, red pepper, avocado sauce, and fresh cilantro. Finish with lime juice.

Serves: 2–3

Tips

• Use Rooster potatoes for a fluffy texture and earthy flavour.
• Make the avocado sauce ahead—it keeps well for 2 days in the fridge.
• For extra crunch, layer with thinly sliced radish or toasted pumpkin seeds.
