RECIPE BY: BarbryT

I love tostadas. And I used to be able to buy some brand of canned Refried Beans with Chorizo. Haven't been able to find them in years. So...I have come up with this.

  • 6-8 corn tortilla
  • pinches sea salt
  • 1 (14 ounce) can refried bean

    I love tostadas. The chorizo in the beans brought back childhood memories. I couldn't resist adding a little chopped avocado and sour cream. Thank you Barbry T!
