Ingredients

  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 can (400 g) refried beans
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Brush both sides of the corn tortillas with vegetable oil and place on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Set aside.
  4. Heat refried beans in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
  5. In a bowl, mash avocados with lime juice, salt, and black pepper until slightly chunky.

  7. Add mashed avocado evenly on top.
  8. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.

Notes

  • Add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Top with roasted vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for more flavor.
  • Use guacamole instead of mashed avocado for added richness.
  • Store components separately to keep tostadas crisp.
  • Use store-bought tostada shells to save time.
