Servings: 8 tostadas
Calories: 289kcal
Ingredients
- 8 corn tortillas (6 inch)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups refried beans (or for a healthier option, use my crockpot pinto beans, and blend them to be smooth)
- 1 cup Cotija cheese crumbled
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 Roma tomatoes diced
- pickled red onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lay the tortillas on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush the tortillas with the canola oil, thick enough so that the whole side is shiny, but not so thick that you can see pools of oil. Flip them and brush the other sides. Bake for 10 minutes, flipping the tortillas halfway through and rotating the pan. (Because ovens and baking pans vary, check on the tortillas every 2 to 3 minutes to ensure they do not burn. Keep in mind that while I would not use flour tortillas here, but if you do, they will need less time.)
- When the tortillas are done cooking, add a 1/4 cup of beans to each one. Top with Cotija cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, pickled red onions, and cilantro.
