Method:
Place the red onion, vinegar, salt and sugar in a bowl.

Prepare the vegetable toppings.
Preheat the oven on grill.
Brush the tortillas on both sides with a little olive oil.
Place on a baking tray and grill until lightly charred and crisp, turning half way through to cook both sides.
Season the portabellos with olive oil and the taco spice.
Use the same baking tray as the tortillas and grill them, turning them halfway through until lightly charred and cooked through. About 5 minutes.

To assemble the tostadas:
Spread a dollop of crème fraîche onto the base of each crispy tortilla.

Finish each tostada with a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving and enjoy!
