Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using corn tortillas because they’re naturally gluten-free and add that lovely crunch. You can also make your own if you’re up for it! For the refried black beans, I usually go for a brand that’s organic and free from any animal products. If you want to amp up the protein, feel free to add some cooked quinoa or chickpeas!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my toppings prepped in little bowls so everyone can build their own tostada – it’s so much fun!
- •If you have leftover toppings, they make a great salad the next day.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add roasted corn or black olives for extra flavor and texture.
- •Feel free to switch up the beans – pinto or white beans work wonderfully too!
Storage & Freezing
These tostadas are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftover toppings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat the beans when you're ready to assemble more tostadas!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use flour tortillas instead?
Absolutely! Just remember they won’t have the same crunch, but they'll still be tasty.
What can I add for extra protein?
You could mix in some cooked lentils or even crumble some tofu on top. I love adding tempeh bacon for a smoky flavor!
