Instructions

Make the Baked Tostada Shells and Vegan Refried Beans.

To assemble

Add the toppings of your choice. Everyone can customize their own.
Serve immediately.

Notes

~ The homemade tostada shells and refried beans can be made ahead. Simply reheat the beans in a microwave or on the stovetop until warm.

~ Prep all the toppings and place them in individual bowls so everyone can customize their own tostadas.

~ Make sure the tostada shells have cooled before loading them up with toppings. They will crisp up more as they cool and adding the toppings too soon may make them soggy.

~ Spread the beans gently onto the crispy shells so as not to break them.

~ Don't overload the tostada shells too much - they will be impossible to eat.

~ Only assemble as many tostadas as you are able to eat at the time. They won't store well with all the toppings on the shells.
