Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 can (16 oz ) refried black beans
  • 1 package (4.5 oz) tostadas (12 tostadas)
  • 1 jar (15 oz) Nopales strips in brine, drained
  • 2 Roma tomatoes diced, (1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large ripe avocado, cut into 24 slices
  • 3/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salsa, if desired
  • Mexican style cream, if desired

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat. Stir in onions; cook about 2 to 3 minutes or until soft. Stir in refried beans. Cook for 2 to 3minutes until hot, stirring occasionally. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes, to keep tostadas from getting too soft.
  • Step 
    2
    To assemble tostadas: Spread 2 tablespoons refried bean mixture on each shell; top with 2 tablespoons nopales, 1 rounded tablespoon tomatoes, 1 scant tablespoon red onion, 2 slices avocado, and 1 tablespoon queso cotija. Sprinkle with cilantro.
