Crispy, colorful, and full of flavor, these Easy Tostadas are the ultimate quick-fix meal. With creamy beans, fresh veggies, and zesty toppings, every bite is a celebration of texture and taste.

Ingredients

  • Corn Tortillas: 8 small tortillas
  • Refried Beans: 1 can (15 oz), warmed
  • Olive Oil: 1 cup (for frying)
  • Shredded Lettuce: 2 cups
  • Diced Tomatoes: 1 cup
  • Shredded Cheese: 1 cup (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • Sour Cream: 1/2 cup
  • Avocado or Guacamole: 1 sliced avocado or 1/2 cup guacamole
  • Hot Sauce or Salsa: To taste
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat for frying, or preheat oven to 400°F if baking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Warm the refried beans in a small pot and season as needed.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Fry tortillas until golden and crispy or bake them on a parchment-lined sheet after brushing with oil.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Spread warm beans on each crisp tortilla.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Sprinkle with cheese while the beans are warm so it melts slightly.
  6. Finishing Touches: Top with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado or guac, sour cream, and hot sauce.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while crisp, with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Use day-old tortillas for extra crispiness.
  • Store toppings and tortillas separately to maintain crunch.
  • Add lime juice or pickled onions for a bright flavor boost.
