Ingredients
Tortillas:
4 sprouted corn tortillas (We like Ezekiel Food for Life brand found in the freezer section of the grocery store)
Refried beans:
1 15-oz. can pinto beans, slightly drained
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Meat:
1 cup of "Magic" Meat
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
Toppings:
1 cup arugula, baby spinach or chopped lettuce
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
1 lime
1/2 cup Cashew Cream (or 1/2 cup Super Easy Salsa and 1/2 cup Guacamole)
Instructions
Tortillas:
To prepare corn tortillas, preheat oven to 350°F (or 175°C). Place corn tortillas flat on the rack or shallow baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes or until slightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside. Tortillas will provide the base of the tostada.
Beans:
Take 1 cup of leftover Refried Beans and warm in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to very low and keep warm.
Alternatively, for a quick version of Refried Beans, take a 15oz. can of pinto beans, slightly drained, and add to a large mixing bowl. Take a potato masher or wooden spoon and mash beans to desired consistency. Add mashed beans to a dry skillet and warm uncovered over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in cumin, chili powder and garlic powder. Reduce heat to very low and keep warm.
Meat:
Take 1 cup of leftover "Magic" Meat and stir in additional spices—cumin and chili powder. Add to a dry skillet and warm over medium heat, uncovered for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to very low to keep warm.
Assemble:
Immediately assemble tostadas by starting with the corn tortilla base, add 1/4 cup of the Refried Beans, then add 1/4 cup of the "Magic" Meat to each tostada. Top with arugula (or baby spinach or chopped lettuce), fresh cilantro, shredded purple cabbage and fresh squeezed lime juice. Drizzle a few tablespoons of Cashew Cream (or salsa or guacamole) on top of each Tostada. Enjoy!
