What is a tostada?

Tostada is essentially a crispy flat taco! Instead of folding the tortilla up into a taco shell, the tortilla is either fried to baked flat and topped with toppings after crispy. Usually tostadas are made with corn tortillas. 

What toppings are in this easy bean tostada recipe?

How to make homemade refried beans?

You can make homemade refried beans with organic canned black beans or dark kidney beans.

Start by draining any liquid from the can and rinsing the beans. Once rinsed, mash the cooked beans up with a fork after washing and draining them from the can.

Add salt and cumin to the mashed beans for a simple but filling topping for these tostadas.

These “refried beans” are ready in under 3 minutes, mashing and all! The creamy texture of the beans against the crunchy corn tortilla and the crunchy sweet corn is the perfect blend of flavors and textures.
