How to Prepare Portobello Tostadas With Chipotle Cream [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Tostadas:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Add mushrooms and peppers and cook for for 6-8 minutes, or until mushrooms are soft, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, cumin, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for one minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Brush corn tortillas with olive oil on both sides and sprinkle with cayenne pepper on one side.
  4. Place on baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 4-5 minutes, or until just starting to brown.
