Notes
Taco Seasoning: In place of the homemade taco seasoning, use ¼ teaspoon each cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, and a dash of salt.
Add veggies: If desired, add up to ½ cup of carrot, sweet potato, or pumpkin puree to the refried beans. This adds a nice dose of veggies without overwhelming the flavor of the beans.
Storage: It is best to serve these tostadas right away. If you happen to have leftovers, place them in a sealed container between layers of parchment paper. Reheat the tostadas on a baking sheet at 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Top and serve.
