Tostada Assembly

Method

Tostada Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the corn tortillas for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are crisp and golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Spread the Refried Beans

    Take each toasted tortilla and spread about ¼ cup of refried beans evenly over the top, ensuring that the beans cover the entire surface.

  3. 3

    Add Lettuce and Tomatoes

    On top of the refried beans, add a handful of shredded lettuce and then sprinkle the diced tomatoes evenly over each tostada.

  4. 4

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle about ¼ cup of shredded cheese over each tostada, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the beans and vegetables.

  5. 5

    Add Sour Cream and Jalapeños

    Dollop a tablespoon of sour cream on each tostada. If desired, add sliced jalapeños on top for extra heat.

  6. 6

    Garnish with Avocado and Cilantro

    Place slices of avocado on each tostada and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for added flavor.

  7. 7

    Serve with Lime

    Serve the tostadas with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over before eating for a fresh burst of flavor.
