Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 4 tostadas
Ingredients
  • 4 tostada shells
  • 1 16 oz. can refried beans
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg, romaine, or green leaf work great)
  • 1/2 cup fresh tomato, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup cheese, crumbled/shredded* (queso fresco, cheddar, pepper jack, & colby jack work great)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream*
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
Instructions
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the refried beans, stirring occasionally, until warmed throughout - about 90 seconds.
  2. Use the backside of a spoon to gently spread 1/4 of the warm refried beans on each tostada shell. Divide remaining toppings evenly among the 4 tostadas. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes

*Omit the cheese/sour cream to keep it dairy-free.

This recipe is VERY customizable! Feel free to swap out the type of onion or cheese, or add or omit any toppings you like or don't like!

Prep these right before you eat them. If you aren't eating all 4 right away, keep the leftover tostada shells, beans, and veggies stored separately or they will get soggy.
