Ingredients
- 8 pieces gluten-free corn tortillas
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups refried beans
- 2 cups romaine lettuce
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 1 large avocado
- 1 medium lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup queso fresco
- 0.25 cup cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the corn tortillas, one at a time, and fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove the tortillas from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Step 3
Meanwhile, warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until heated through.
Step 4
Shred the romaine lettuce finely and set aside.
Step 5
Dice the tomatoes and set aside.
Step 6
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and dice. Toss the avocado with the juice of the lime to prevent browning. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
To assemble the tostadas, spread a layer of warm refried beans on each fried tortilla.
Step 8
Top with lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado, crumbled queso fresco, and freshly chopped cilantro.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free classic Mexican tostadas.
