Although summer days are coming to a close, we can continue to enjoy fresh, sweet California strawberries for months to come! I’ve come up with a fun twist to a Mexican restaurant favorite: Tostadas! My Strawberry and Corn Tostadas with Lime and Cotija cheese are a little sweet, a little tangy, and A LOT delicious. They’re quick to make and look gorgeous when set out on your dinner table!

Unlike typical restaurant fare, my recipe keeps the calories and sodium low and the nutrition high. Each tostada clocks in at just over 100 calories and less than 50 milligrams of sodium each. Strawberries contribute a good amount of vitamin C and fiber to this dish, and the variety of vegetables combined in with them, add extra nutrition including protein, folate and iron. In this recipe, the tostada shells are baked instead of fried, then topped with skillet-blistered corn mixed with green chilies, diced fresh strawberries, and cucumbers. Splash some fresh lime juice and crumble a little cotija (or feta cheese) over the top and you’ve got yourself one tasty, meatless and budget friendly meal! So much flavor stacked onto a light and crispy tortilla shell. YUM!

Need any more reasons to try my recipe and include strawberries in your next meal? Here are a few more fun strawberry facts:

The American Diabetes Association identifies berries, including strawberries, as one of their top 10 superfoods because they have a low glycemic index and are low in sugar (8 grams per serving).
Eating one or more serving of strawberries per week has been associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s dementia.
A single serving of strawberries is 8 medium strawberries and has 50 calories and packs in more vitamin C than a single orange (110% of the recommended daily value)!

This recipe is great to prepare ahead of time and set out for your friends and family to serve themselves. Also, the preparation is so simple, the kids (even toddlers) can get involved in helping get these tostadas on the table for a delicious and healthy meal for all!
