Equipment
Ingredients
- 1-2 ear of corn, kernels removed
- Medium zucchini, diced
- Bell pepper of choice, diced
- Large tomato, cored and diced
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 8 tostadas shells
- 1 15 ounce can refried beans
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, or cheese of choice, or omit
- Toppings: like pico de gallo, homemade salsa, salsa verde, cilantro, guacamole
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. If you aren't using store-bought tostada shells, make your own by following the directions below.
- Toss the corn kernels, zucchini, bell pepper, and tomato with olive oil and seasonings, ensuring all the vegetables are well-covered with the seasonings. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
- Open the can of beans and warm either on the microwave or stove.
- While the vegetables are cooking, top the tostada shells with the refried beans. Place the tostadas on a separate baking sheet and sprinkle with the shredded cheese. Place in the oven and cook for 2-3 minutes until the beans are hot and the cheese is melted.
- Top the tostadas with the roasted vegetables and any other toppings you'd like.
Notes
To make your own tostadas: You'll need corn tortillas and cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet (or two) with cooking spray and both sides of your corn tortillas. Place in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet and lightly season with salt. Bake for 5 minutes, then flip and bake another 5-8 minutes until crispy and chip-like. Now you are ready to top your tostadas!
