Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 can Olive oil spray
- 1 cup Refried black beans (low sodium, canned)
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large Lime, cut into wedges
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly spray both sides of the corn tortillas with olive oil spray and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the tortillas for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
While the tortillas are baking, heat the refried black beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Prepare the toppings by shredding the lettuce, halving the cherry tomatoes, slicing the avocado, and thinly slicing the red onion.
Once the tortillas have cooled slightly, spread a thin layer of warm refried beans on each tostada shell.
Top each tostada with shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, red onion, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Season each tostada with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Serve each tostada with a wedge of lime for squeezing on top just before eating.
Enjoy your Healthy Tostadas immediately for the best flavor and crunch!
