Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Cooked ground beef or chicken (optional)
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives
- 1 small Diced avocado
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce or salsa
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush both sides of each tortilla with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
While the tortillas bake, warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the tortillas are crisp, spread a thin layer of refried beans over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the beans on each tortilla.
If using, add a layer of cooked ground beef or chicken on top of the cheese.
Place the topped tortillas back into the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the tostada pizzas from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and diced avocado.
Drizzle with sour cream (you can thin it with a bit of water for easier drizzling) and a touch of hot sauce or salsa.
Season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Slice into quarters and serve immediately. Enjoy your Tostada Pizza!
