Tostada

• 1 medium romaine heart, chopped
• Purple cabbage, shredded
• 1 large tomato
• Cilantro
• Avocado
• BBQ ranch dressing

Seasoning for Beans

• 1 can (14 oz.) refried beans
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 scant teaspoon Himalayan pink salt, or to taste
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika
• 2-4 Tablespoons non-dairy milk, to thin

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400ºF. Place corn tortillas on a baking sheet and bake for 13-20 min, or until crispy. Flipping the tortillas halfway through baking.
2. Chop the the veggies and prepare the dressing (if using)
3. Add the beans and seasonings to a medium saucepan. Mix and heat over medium/low until beans are warm. If needed, add almond milk to achieve desired consistency.
4. Layer the tostadas: beans, lettuce, cabbage, tomato, dressing, cilantro, avocado.
5. I also like to sprinkle a little cayenne pepper and a squirt of lime on top for that extra kick.

Notes

Tortilla Note: Cooking time on the tortillas can vary. If I notice some tortillas are done sooner than others, I'll remove them from the oven and allow the others to finish cooking.
