I didn't have any flour tortillas on hand and didn't have time to make any but corn tortillas worked out well. I replaced the ricotta with cottage cheese and instead of stirring the yogurt and fruit together I added them in layers. The fruit used: blueberries, oranges, golden kiwi, nectarines, bananas and strawberries. I think I would prefer flour tortillas over corn. Perfect for breakfast, brunch or light snack! Will make again! Reviewed for Veg Tag/September.

What a yummy fruity and fun breakfast!! I got a phone call as I was baking the tostada and accidently cooked a little too long, but it was still good. Loved the contrast of smooth creamy sauce with the crispy tostada and fruit. For the fruits I chose to use the same as written in the recipe. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT 7.
