Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Refried beans
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 piece Diced avocado
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Test the oil by dipping the edge of a tortilla in; it should sizzle.
Fry each tortilla individually for 30-45 seconds per side until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to remove the tortillas and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt while warm.
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat until heated through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Prepare your toppings: shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes and avocado, and chop the fresh cilantro.
To assemble the tostadas, spread a generous layer of refried beans on each fried tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced avocado.
Drizzle with sour cream and salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade tostadas!
