Directions
Step 1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Carefully add one corn tortilla at a time to the hot oil, frying each side for about 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 3
Use tongs to remove the tostadas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 4
Mash the avocados in a bowl and stir in the juice of one lime, adding salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 5
Dice the tomatoes and chop the fresh cilantro, setting them aside for topping the tostadas.
Step 6
Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.
Step 7
To assemble the tostadas, spread a heaping spoonful of warmed refried beans onto each fried tortilla.
Step 8
Sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheese over the beans, followed by a layer of mashed avocado.
Step 9
Top each tostada with diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.
