Servings:  1

Tostada Meal Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • Tostada shells 2
  • Refried beans as needed
  • Cheese, grated as needed
 
  • Lettuce as needed
  • Tomato, diced 1/2 medium
  • Avocado 1/2
  • Salsa to taste
  • Sour cream 1 Tbsp
 
    Reverse Columns

Directions:

  1. Heat the refried beans. Place in a microwavable dish and add some water as needed to get the right consistency; about 1/4 cup for a 16 oz. can. Microwave for about 2 minutes.
  2. On a single plate, lay out 2 tostada shells, cover with a layer of beans, sprinkle with grated cheese (or use 2 slices) then put in the microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
  3. Build the salad on the base. Spread some shredded lettuce, add some chopped tomatoes, avocado wedges, salsa and top with a dollop of sour cream (or Greek yogurt).

Notes:
You can substitute some corn tortilla chips for the tostada shells but then, as my daughter reminds me, it technically becomes Nachos. Either way, it is a simple and really delious meal. A can of refried beans can make about 3-4 tostadas.
