2 cups refrigerated fresh salsa

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

6 tostada shells

6 (3/4-ounce) slices Land O Lakes® Hot Pepper Monterey Jack Cheese

1 large avocado, peeled, chopped

1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce

1/2 cup sour cream

Chopped fresh cilantro, if desired

How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Heat oven to 350°F.

  2. STEP 2

    Place tostada shells onto large ungreased baking sheet. Top each with 1 slice cheese. Bake 1-2 minutes or until cheese just begins to melt. Place baked shells onto large serving plate.

  5. STEP 5

    Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired. Serve with remaining salsa.
