Vegetarian tostada recipe

Sometimes I’ll be sitting there, all angry and moody, and realize I missed lunch. Hangry… hungry and angry. With three wild kids, it’s easy to forget to slow down and feed yourself!

Got ten minutes to spare? Okay, good! We’re going to make these BOMB vegetarian tostadas- and they are going to knock your socks off! You can never go wrong with a meal that includes fixings like olives, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeños!

Anything with a corn tortilla deserves all my affection. I have never been one to turn down a taco, tostada, or fluata. This recipe was made even easier by using store bought tostadas, but I’ll walk you through how to make them with regular corn tortillas in case you can’t find them at the store.

Ten minutes, endless toppings, and it’s healthy! Not to mention, it’s actually fun to make because it’s so simple yet colorful and delicious! You can do this!

How to make your own tostadas

What you need

• Corn tortillas
• Baking sheet
• Oil (coconut, vegetable, or canola)
• Pastry brush

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Use a pastry brush to brush the oil onto the front and back of the corn tortillas.
2. Place the corn tortillas in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake the corn tortillas for 5 minutes, then flip them and bake for 5-10 more minutes, until they are crispy like chips.
3. Remove them from the oven and finish making your tostadas!

How to make vegetarian tostadas

1. Make the tostadas. If you cannot find tostadas at your local grocery store, make then with corn tortillas.
2. Heat the refried beans. Empty the can of refried beans into a small pot over medium heat. Every brand of refried beans tastes differently, so if it is bland, go ahead and add a pinch of chili, cumin, oregano, and salt.
3. Add the fixings. Chop the cilantro, jalapeño, tomatoes, olives, avocados, and limes. Add a little of each ingredient to your tostadas. Top with sour cream and serve! Mangia!
