Equipment

Ingredients

¼ cup of diced tomatoes
¼ cup of minced cilantro
3 tablespoons of finely diced red onion
1 (15-ounce) can of vegan refried beans
6 tostada shells
¾ cup of shredded lettuce
1 avocado sliced
Vegan parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together the tomatoes, cilantro, and onion, and set aside.
Slather on a layer of refried beans on each tostada shell.
Top each tostada with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and avocado. Sprinkle on vegan parmesan, if using.

Notes

If you’re using pre-made tostada shells: I recommend placing them in the oven for 3-5 minutes at 350F until lightly toasted for the best texture and flavor.
Finely dice the veggies: This will help to make them easier to top the tostadas and eat with less mess.
Be gentle when spreading the beans: Otherwise, you might break the shell.
