Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Refried beans
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 piece Diced avocado
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Test the oil by dipping the edge of a tortilla in; it should sizzle.

Fry each tortilla individually for 30-45 seconds per side until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to remove the tortillas and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt while warm.
Step 3
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat until heated through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Prepare your toppings: shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes and avocado, and chop the fresh cilantro.
Step 5
To assemble the tostadas, spread a generous layer of refried beans on each fried tortilla.
Step 6
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced avocado.
Step 7
Drizzle with sour cream and salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade tostadas!
