A quick and easy lunch option! These tostadas are light, crunchy, creamy from the beans and tasty from the veggies. Smeared with beans on a crispy tostada, topped with creamy guacamole and topped with juicy tomatoes and pungent onions. Garnish with lime juice and hot sauce!
Ingredients
- 8 Tostadas
- 546 mL Can Refried Pinto Beans
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion, diced
- 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- *Optional: 1 Tablespoon Taco Seasoning
- 1 Medium Red Onion, finely diced
- 2 Tomatoes, finely diced
Guacamole
- 2 Medium-Large Ripe Avocados
- 1-2 Limes, juiced
- 1/4 Teaspoon: salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, each
Instructions
- Start by dicing the yellow onion, mincing the garlic cloves and dicing the red onion and tomatoes.
- In a small sauce pan add the oil and sauté the onions on medium heat. After a few minutes they will start to brown, at this point add the garlic cloves and continue to sauté. You want the onions and garlic to be a deep golden brown (but not burned). Add the refried beans and heat them until a light bubble appears. Take the beans off the heat and set aside for now.
- In a bowl add avocados, the juice of 1-2 limes over top and the spices. Use a fork to mash down the avocados until it is nice and creamy.
- Now time to assemble: start by spreading a single layer of refried beans on the tostada. Top with a spoon or two of guacamole. Garnish with tomatoes and red onion. Optionally: add lime juice and hot sauce. Enjoy! :)
