Ingredients

  • 8 tostada shells
  • 2 15 oz. cans seasoned pinto beans
  • 2 Tbsp. olive or canola oil
  • 1 20 oz. bag frozen onion and pepper blend

Optional toppings:

  • Sliced avocado
  • Diced tomatoes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line two sheet pans with foil or parchment paper. Place tostada shells on sheet pans and set aside.
  • Drain beans and place in a bowl. Mash with a fork until a little chunky or smooth — whichever you prefer. Set aside.
  • In a medium sauté pan, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add frozen onion and pepper blend and cook until heated through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Top each tostada with mashed beans and cooked onions and peppers.
  • Place in the oven for about 12 minutes, or until tostadas are heated through.
  • Top with your favorite toppings like sliced avocado, salsa, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, tortilla strips or shredded cheese. Serve immediately.
