Tostadas are one of my go to quick and easy when I am tired or we are having a busy day. The great thing about them is they are customizable . Pretty much anything you’d like on a taco would be great on a tostada. This is another post that is more method than recipe but I will share how I made them last night.

This is one of my favorite quick dishes- and my family loves them. Just a nice twist from tacos. I’m looking forward to trying your homemade refried bean recipe, though. Yum!
