Instructions
Make the chipotle sauce
- In a food processor, add all the ingredients under Chipotle Sauce.
- Blend. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
Prepare the refried beans
- Heat up a pot on medium heat, once hot, add oil followed by the remaining onions you chopped up earlier. Saute for about 3 minutes – until the onions are translucent.
- Dump all the refried pinto beans into the pot.
- Stir the beans around.
- Add Taco Bell Mild Sauce (their Hot Sauce works too). Mix.
- Add taco seasoning.
- Let the beans heat up. Once hot, turn off the stove. Your beans are ready.
Bake the Tostadas
- Brush corn tortillas with avocado oil on both sides.
- Place tortillas in a toaster oven at 400 degrees. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
- And now you have tostadas.
Build your Tostada
- Spread refried beans over the tostada. Note - use refried pinto beans, I used black beans since I didn't have pinto on hand.
- Top with shredded lettuce.
- Now drizzle 1-2 tbsp of Taco Bell sauce, I prefer hot or mild.
- Top with shredded cheese.
- Finish it off with chopped tomatoes and a drizzle of Chipotle Sauce.
