Mini Black Bean Tostadas

These mini tostadas are ideal because you get all the flavors in one bite. You can use any kind of chips, but the scoops that are shaped like little bowls hold everything together well.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes about 40 tostadas

Ingredients

Tortilla chips
1 (15-ounce) can black beans
1 cup chunky salsa or pico de gallo
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer on a serving platter. Drain the beans and spoon a few of the beans on each chip. Top with a small spoonful of salsa and sprinkle with the cheddar cheese. (If your platter isn’t large enough to hold them all, you can layer them.)

  2. Bargain Shopper

    Step 2

    Cheese can be expensive, but it often goes on sale. I use a lot of shredded cheese so whenever it’s on sale, I stock up and keep it in the freezer until I need it. You can save $4 to $6 per pound that way and it doesn’t change the flavor at all. Besides that, you’ll always have it when you need it.
