bean tostada

Prep time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
4 large whole grain tortillas
4 cups vegetarian refried beans (store bought or homemade)
½ cup salsa
6 oz. cheese shredded (optional vegan cheese)
2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
6 oz. black olives sliced
1 avocado cubed (optional)

Preheat oven to 250°. Place tortillas on oven rack until crisp (approximately 3-5 minutes). Watch carefully so that they do not burn. When the tortillas are crisp, remove and place on a cookie sheet. Spread each tortilla with equal amounts of refried beans, salsa, and cheese. Bake in the oven 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and plate. Sprinkle with olives and avocado (optional).
