These freshly fried tostadas, redolent of heirloom corn and served with vibrant, herbaceous guacamole, hail from chef Enrique Olvera of Atla in New York City and Venice, California. For Olvera, buttery avocados are the principal pleasure of guacamole. They should be ripe with a supple spring and kept at room temperature so their sweet flavors shine through. For balance, Olvera adds a quartet of herbs — cilantro, basil, mint, and tarragon — which can be adjusted based on freshness.
