Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    8 Corn Tortillas (6" dia)
    1 Can Ranch Style Beans
    1 C fancy/finely shredded Cheddar Cheese
    2 C lettuce (ready-made iceberg salad works perfect!)
    1 C coarsely chopped grape tomatoes

Directions

In a toaster oven, place tortilla(s) on foil-covered sheet and bake at about 350-375, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown.

Heat up 1 can of Ranch Style beans. Using a potato masher, smash beans until the consistency of peanut butter or traditional re-fried beans.

Coarsely chop tomatoes.

Take 1 baked tostada shell and 1-2 spoonfuls of beans and spread evenly to the edge of the shell.

Sprinkle 1/8 C of cheddar cheese over warm beans.

Top with desired lettuce and tomatoes.

Enjoy!

***For Vegetarian Tacos: Warm tortilla in microwave for a few seconds until warm and soft. Or heat over comal (griddle) on stovetop. Prepare as you would a tostada.
Fold and enjoy!
