Helpful Hints:
|
A tostada is a crisp-fried round corn tortilla topped with beans or meat. The beans in this recipe are a great source of protein, fiber and flavor. Fat free refried beans are available in the Mexican foods section of the grocery store. You can spice up your tostada by choosing a hotter salsa, if you desire.
 |
Safety Tip:
|
Crisp tortillas may cause choking in very young children, and in anyone who may be doing more than just eating. So, mind your manners AND your safety - don't talk and eat at the same time, and don't let children walk or run while eating. Sit down, chew carefully, and ENJOY!
