MEXICAN BEAN TOSTADAS

These tostadas can be individualized to your family's preferences, topping them with the condiments of your choice. Serve with mexican rice for a delicious supper, or use smaller corn tortillas and serve as an appetizer.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 6-inch corn tortillas
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 16 oz. can fat-free refried beans
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
  • 2 oz. shredded fat free or part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives (about 20)
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup fat free sour cream

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 375�F.

2. Place the corn tortillas on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spray the surface of the tortillas with cooking spray, and sprinkle evenly with the salt. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until crisp. Check on the tortillas periodically to avoid burning.

3. Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

4. Top each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of beans, 1/4 cup of lettuce, 2 tablespoons chopped tomatoes, 1/2 oz. cheese, 2 tablespoons olives, 2 tablespoons of salsa, and 1 tablespoon of sour cream.

Serves 4
