Tostadas de Frijoles Negros
These are difficult times and we have to look after ourselves and our love ones and the way I look after my little family is by cooking delicious and healthy food.
I love cooking from scratch, but I don’t like to complicate my life by cooking long recipes, specially during this quarantine time as there are other things I need to do that are my priority like playing with my children and do school work. I’m sure all the mums agree with me.
So today I’m sharing with you this delicious Tostada de Frijoles Negros or Black Beans Tostadas that you can do under 30 min, it is perfect for a quick and healthy lunch. If you are not following me on my social media channels yet, I advice you to do it, as I show there how to do this recipe in more detail.
Tostadas are another amazing way to enjoy those tortillas that are going stale. In Mexico these beauties are fried in oil, but I think is much healthier and easier to bang them in the oven and wait for them to harden, then you can top them with whatever you want.
This recipe always makes me think about my lovely mum, because she loves them and when I was growing up, this was one of her recipes to make when she didn’t want to cook. Over the years I have changed some of the ingredients and I added my own touch, so let me know if you cook this recipe, I would love to know what you think.
