Method

Preparation of Tostada Shells

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tostada Shells

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tostada shells on a baking sheet and warm in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until they are crispy.

Preparation of Refried Beans

  1. 2

    Heat the Refried Beans

    In a small saucepan, add the canned refried beans, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Assembling the Tostadas

  1. 3

    Assemble the Tostadas

    Once the tostada shells are warm and crispy, spread a generous layer of the heated refried beans on each shell. Top with shredded cheese, followed by shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.

  2. 4

    Add Final Toppings

    Finish by adding sour cream and sliced jalapeños on top according to your taste.
