Save money by fixing tostadas at home. This recipe costs less than $4.00 to make. Ordering them at a restaurant would cost $8.00 or more. Homemade tostadas are also healthier because they are made with less fat and salt than those bought at a restaurant. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
3 corn tortillas |
1/4 teaspoon chili powder |
3/4 cup cooked kidney bean, drained |
2 ounces low-fat cheddar cheese |
1 medium tomato, chopped |
1 cup lettuce, shredded |
salsa, if desired |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly spray both sides of each tortilla with cooking spray and sprinkle the top side with chili powder. Bake the tortillas in a single layer on a baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crisp. While tortillas are baking, shred the cheese. Remove the tortillas from the oven. Top each baked tortilla with a layer of chees, beans, tomatoes, and lettuce. Add salsa, if desired, and serve.
2. QUICK TIP: Any type of bean can be substitued for this recipe. If choosing canned beans rinse and drain before using.
