Stacked Bean & Cheese Tostadas



Prep Time: 20 Min

Cook Time: 25 Min

1. Begin melting the butter in a medium sized pot on medium heat. Pour in the oil and swish around to combine. Add in the red onion, light green portions of the onions, and a pinch of sea salt. Cook 5 minutes.

1. Stir in the grape tomatoes and add another pinch of sea salt. Cook 2 – 3 minutes. Stir in the spice blend, and continue cooking 2 minutes.

1. Stir in the refried beans. Bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer 10 – 15 minutes. Taste and adjust salt if desired. Remove from heat and stir in the dark green onions and cilantro.

1. Starting with the bottom tostada, spoon some beans on and use the back side of the spoon to spread them around the tostada. Sprinkle some cheese and place the second tostada over the beans/cheese. Add another spoonful of beans and spread around. Sprinkle more cheese before adding the fresh cilantro pico and any additional toppings I’ve suggested.

 
ENJOY!
