Serves: 6
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1.5 Tbsp oil (any kind will do)
1-2 cloves Garlic (finely chopped)
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
2 cups cooked beans (or 1 can beans, drained, reserve water)
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 cups chopped vegetables (squash, bell pepper, mushroom, onion, etc.)
1 cup shredded cheese
6 corn tortillas
Optional toppings: salsa, chopped tomato, lettuce greens, herbs, sour cream
Instructions:
1. In a skillet, heat OLIVE OIL; add GARLIC, CUMIN, and CHILI POWDER; sauté until fragrant (about 2 min).
2. Add beans and mash with a potato masher to your liking.
3. Add bean juice (or plain water) in small amounts to reach desired texture, stirring as needed; add SALT and PEPPER to taste.
4. Heat a second skillet to medium-high. Add 1-2 tbsp oil. Add vegetables with pinch of salt and pepper. Sautee in pan for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Try not to stir too much, so vegetables can brown on pan. (Vegetables can also be roasted in oven at 400-degrees for 35-40 minutes).
5. Assembly: Start with corn tortilla, spread refried beans, top with vegetables and cheese and other desired toppings.
Notes: to make tostada shells, add corn tortillas to a baking sheet. Lightly spray each side with oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Flip, and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until crispy.
