Ok-so I changed it up just a bit and sprayed my tortillas with cooking spray and crisped them up good, then topped them with the hot bean/salsa mix and cheese. Added some pickled peppers and avocado-wow. Such a fast and simple meal but super tasty. Already looking forward to the leftovers. - 2/18/12

I like to add shredded lettuce or spinach, or any fresh green, and onions. To reduce sodium, rinsed the canned beans thoroughly, it helps a lot. you could use home made pico de galo, and no salt. substitute cilantro, you won;t miss the salt. Bought fresh pico del galo usually no salt. read label - 7/6/11

Thanks for reminding me about this tasty fast meal. I like mine a bit sloppier. I toast the tortillas in a dry skillet and mash the beans in a small pan and heat. Then arrange the tortilla w/ beans, then salsa, then cheese. Pop in microwave to melt. Top with lots of tomatoes, lettuce & onion. - 10/13/12

I made this using Ortega tostada shells, organic black beans and mild salsa. Yum! I used my brand new ninja processor to blend the beans and salsa. I baked 4 shells and set 3 aside to make for lunches during the week. Two tablespoons of bean/ salsa mix and topped with cheddar cheese and baked a few - 1/14/18
