Pork Tenderloin Tostadas with Avocado
I had a busy day with my kids today and wanted to make something super quick and easy for dinner and I was in the mood for Mexican food. I ended up making these pork tenderloin tostadas with avocado, and we all thought they were delicious except for my son, who isn’t the biggest fan of Mexican food.
How to Make a Pork Tenderloin Tostadas with Avocado
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat both sides of the corn tortillas with olive oil cooking spray then place on the baking sheet. Place into the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes then flip them over and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Remove the silver skin from the pork tenderloin – click here for instructions. Dice the meat into small bite-sized pieces.
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced pork then season with cumin, coriander, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5-6 minutes or until cooked through.
Spread sour cream on the tostada shell then spoon the pork on top. Add the lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado then sprinkle the top with cotija cheese. Serve immediately with salsa and lime wedges on the side.

This is most definitely my idea of the perfect dinner!
I’ve never made tostadas with pork tenderloin.. always with ground beef or chorizo for some reason.. this is a fantastic idea!!
It looks so appetising and healthy Pam!!
Cheers,
Lia.
This is a great reminder that I haven’t made mexican food in far too long!! Loving these!
I don’t think we ever made tostadas but yours sure look good. I like the versatility of pork tenderloin.
Your tostadas sound great! My son is really honest, too, when it comes to food… 🙂
Your son does get points for honesty! Simple AND easy to do is a rare find, especially when it’s good on top of it all!
I have to try this Pam. I usually use soft tortillas, but I like the idea of baking a tortilla until crisp.
I love these tostadas Pam!!
Another winner recipe, Pam. Your tostadas look droolworthy!
Sounds great!
Love the sound of this, great meal for the weekend.
Right up my alley! Great recipe and sounds so easy for a flavorful weeknight meal.
