Unlike a taco, you can load it with lots of toppings. It totally depends on what you have handy. They can get a bit messy to eat so please be prepared for that. But they taste so good that there will be no leftovers! I promise. It’s also called Tostada Pizza. Spruce up Taco nights with this delicious homemade bean tostada recipe! Beans - I have used two kinds of canned and drained beans - black beans and pinto beans in this recipe for more flavor. Alternatively, you can also use refried beans. If using raw beans, soak them overnight. Then cook them separately and use them as mentioned in the recipe. Mexican flavors - chunky salsa, Mexican seasoning, and Taco seasoning give this dish the authentic flavors and should not be skipped. Meatless crumbles - It makes the tostadas stuffing meaty, flavorful, and wholesome. Meatless crumbles are a great option for vegans and vegetarians. Spices - cumin seeds, cumin powder, and chilly powder are a few basic spices that you will need in this recipe. Veggies - garlic, scallions, onion, bell peppers, shredded lettuce, and serrano peppers/jalapenos are the basic veggies you will need to make these vegan tostadas. Other ingredients - vegan sour cream, vegan shredded cheese, and cilantro help complete this delicious dish.
One fun way to serve tostadas is to set up a topping bar and let your friends and family build their own tostada as per their taste and preference. If you have any leftovers, wrap the stuffing in a whole wheat low-carb tortilla or in taco shells, instead of a tostada shell. They taste great too! To create an Indian-Mexican fusion tostada using this recipe, use the crispy Indian Puri (the one we use for Sev Puri) instead of tostadas. I am sure they will taste amazing. Like this recipe?
