Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1.5 cups refried beans
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 sliced avocado
- 1 cup cooked taco meat (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 5-inch round using a rolling pin or your hands.
Carefully fry one biscuit round at a time in the hot oil for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed. Use tongs to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
To assemble the tostadas, spread a layer of refried beans on top of each fried biscuit base.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and any desired toppings such as sour cream, salsa, avocado slices, cooked taco meat, or chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
