Cilantro Lime Shrimp & Avocado Tostadas {Weight Watchers}
It’s funny how one abundant ingredient can spark all kinds of recipe inspiration. For us, it’s what seems to be a never ending bag of Corn Tortillas taking up space in our fridge drawer. Thumbing through my cookbook rack yesterday, I came across my Weight Watchers cookbook and well, let’s just say we may need to visit a couple of these recipes heading into the holidays ;) Tonight we’ll start by adapting a WW Shrimp Tostadas recipe.
Recipe adaptations: A cilantro lime marinade for the shrimp to give them a little flavor boost. Some nice crisp purple cabbage for crunch. A spoonful of Fresh Tomato Salsa. A crumble of queso fresco cheese and a drizzle of this amazing Southwest Sauce to finish.
