SunGold Kiwi and Black Bean Tostadas

Zespri™ SunGold™ kiwifruit is a juicy, golden fruit, different to the green variety, with a tropical, sweet and zingy taste. Try it in this Mexican-inspired Tostadas recipe.

Serves: 4
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Difficulty: Medium

What you need

For the tostadas:

Sea salt
4 – 6 miniature tortilla wraps
250ml vegetable oil

For the filling:

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

For the topping:

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

What to do

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.
