Techniques
  • water

Bring water to a boil and salt it heavily.

Cut big scallops into roughly half-inch pieces, pulling off the tough foot on the side.
Poach the scallops about a minute, just to barely cook them.
  • Hass avocados
  • lime juice
  • 2 whole tostadas
Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl, season with a little lime juice and salt, and mash with a potato masher to a coarse puree.
Spread a couple of tostadas with the mashed avocado and pile a mound of scallop pieces on top.
Building the tostadas
  • salsa macha
  • cilantro
  • limes
Drizzle with salsa macha, top with torn cilantro leaves, and serve with limes on the side.
