Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 corn tortillas
- 500 ml vegetable oil
- 400 g refried beans
- 150 g grated cheese
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime
- 2 tomatoes
- 20 g fresh cilantro
- 120 ml sour cream
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Carefully add one corn tortilla at a time to the hot oil, frying each side for about 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use tongs to remove the tostadas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Mash the avocados in a bowl and stir in the juice of one lime, adding salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Dice the tomatoes and chop the fresh cilantro, setting them aside for topping the tostadas.
Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.
To assemble the tostadas, spread a heaping spoonful of warmed refried beans onto each fried tortilla.
Sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheese over the beans, followed by a layer of mashed avocado.
Top each tostada with diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.
Serve immediately while the tostadas are still crisp, and enjoy!
