Bean Tostadas image

This is by far my most popular tostada, appealing to both vegetarians and meat-eaters. If you don't have time to cook the black beans, you could use canned beans and refry them with the spices called for in my recipe for refried black beans. You'll have to moisten them with water.

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 batch refried black beans or refried pinto beans (use same method for pintos as for black beans) (about 2 cups)
8 corn tortillas, halved and toasted in the microwave
1 medium or large avocado, mashed and seasoned with lime juice, salt, garlic if desired, cumin and chili (chopped fresh or powder)
1/3 cup crumbled queso fresco (about 1 1/2 ounces)
3 or 4 leaves romaine lettuce, cut in chiffonade
1/2 to 1 cup salsa, fresh or bottled
Cilantro leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Warm the refried beans in a 325-degree oven while you toast the tortilla halves. If the refried beans are too thick to spread evenly, thin out with some bean broth. Spread a spoonful of the refried beans onto each tortilla half. Top with a spoonful of the mashed avocado mixture and a sprinkle of queso fresco. Add a handful of lettuce and a spoonful of salsa. Arrange on a platter or plates and serve.

These tostadas were a bit bland for my taste. The refried beans were not very flavorful, and the toppings were not very fresh. I would not make these again.

These tostadas are so good! I love the combination of flavors and textures. The refried beans are creamy and flavorful, the avocado is creamy and rich, and the pico de gallo is fresh and tangy. I will definitely be making these again.
