TIPS:

** SPICE IT UP

If you like more heat, Pepper Jack Cheese instead of plain Monterrey Jack.

**SWAP SALSAS

Don't care for mango or can't find one? Sub in tomato salsa instead.

**GO GREEEN

To add another layer of flavor, sprinkle on some chopped avocado and fresh cilantro after assembling.

**PUT IN MORE FRUIT

Mango gives the dish a touch of sweetness. Substitute or add chopped papaya, pineapple or kiwi for even more of a tropical taste.

**TRY ANOTHER BASE

We used small flour tortillas for these tostadas, but you can use corn tortillas if you prefer.
