Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes about 40 tostadas

Ingredients

Tortilla chips
1 (15-ounce) can black beans
1 cup chunky salsa or pico de gallo
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer on a serving platter. Drain the beans and spoon a few of the beans on each chip. Top with a small spoonful of salsa and sprinkle with the cheddar cheese. (If your platter isn’t large enough to hold them all, you can layer them.)

  2. Bargain Shopper

    Step 2

    Cheese can be expensive, but it often goes on sale. I use a lot of shredded cheese so whenever it’s on sale, I stock up and keep it in the freezer until I need it. You can save $4 to $6 per pound that way and it doesn’t change the flavor at all. Besides that, you’ll always have it when you need it.
