Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup refried beans
• 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup sliced black olives
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 4 lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Brush both sides of the flour tortillas lightly with olive oil, then place them directly on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crisp.

Step 3

While the tortillas are baking, warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, and salt to season.

Step 4

Once the tortillas are ready, spread a thin, even layer of the warmed refried beans over each tortilla.

Step 5

Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the beans, then place the tortillas back in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 6

Remove the tostada pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Top each pizza with a drizzle of salsa and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 8

Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
