These tostadas are a favorite in our house and are made with many common ingredients found in Costa Rica and other Latin American countries. Tostada with Refried Beans makes a quick and easy lunch that gives you a boost of nutrients and tastes great. In addition to being easy to make, these tostadas are also very affordable. Although they are not a typical Costa Rican dish they are made with ingredients that are produced locally which reduces the cost. Whether you choose a standard flour tortilla or opt for a gluten-free corn tortilla, your taste buds will enjoy the satisfying flavors. Our version of the tostada includes pre-made rice and beans. You can find links to the rice and bean recipes below.

Chop the onion and tomato and set them aside.
Slice the cabbage and set it aside. We use a banjo/mandolin slicer to create quick, easy, thin slices.
Toast the tortillas in a toaster oven. If you do not have a toaster oven, you can fry the tortillas in a pan or bake them in the oven.
Warm the refried beans and rice on the stove or in the microwave.
Place the tortilla on a plate and cover it with 1/2 of the refried beans and rice.
Cover the beans with 1/2 of the onions, tomatoes, and cabbage.
Top the tostada with hot sauce, Lizano Salsa, and sour cream, if desired.
We recommend a side of fruit and chips for the Tostada with Refried Beans.
