These vegetarian tostadas pack a meaty punch with a layer of protein-rich beans. Roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) are often used in Mexican dishes. Ingredients:
4 (5-inch) corn tortillas |
olive oil-flavored cooking spray |
1 (16-ounce) can fat-free refried beans |
2 cups shredded lettuce |
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro |
1/3 cup (1.3 ounces) preshredded 2% reduced-fat mexican blend cheese |
1 orange or green bell pepper, seeded and thinly cut into 12 rings |
1/2 avocado, peeled and cut into 8 slices |
1/2 cup pico de gallo (such as goya) |
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream |
2 tablespoons roasted pepitas |
lime wedges (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place a baking sheet inside oven, and preheat oven to 350°.
2. Lightly coat corn tortillas on both sides with cooking spray; place on preheated pan. Bake at 350° for 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp and golden. Cool tortillas on a wire rack.
3. Heat beans in a small saucepan over low heat 5 minutes, stirring often. Combine lettuce, onions, and cilantro in a bowl; toss.
4. Divide beans evenly among tortillas. Top each tostada with 1/2 cup lettuce mixture, 4 teaspoons cheese, 3 bell pepper rings, 2 avocado slices, 2 tablespoons pico de gallo, 1 tablespoon sour cream, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepitas. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired.
