Francisco Alejandri, who runs Agave y Aguacate, a tiny but zesty takeout stand in Kensington Market, trained at the Stratford Chef School. He incorporates this training with his passion for authentic Mexican food. His perfectionism, making everything from scratch, is what makes this dish delicious. To make the tostados you need to make both guacamole and guajillo salsa - both easy recipes.
Mr. Alejandri makes the guacamole fresh for each order.
Guajillo peppers are dried peppers that make a salsa with lots of flavour but won't leave your mouth burning. The peppers need to be seared for a few seconds to release their taste. This salsa is also nice with eggs, cheese and fish.
