For this 10 Minute Tostada recipe I used BUSH’S Savory Black Beans Fiesta. This variety features black beans mixed with mild chipotle sauce with corns and pepper. It was perfect for tostadas because it had so much flavors built in.

Black Bean Tostadas that are ready in 10 minutes
Have you ever made a tostada before? They are really delicious and feature a grilled tortilla ( I used flour) that is heated until crisp on both sides. Then, they are topped with fresh veggies, and sometimes proteins. I made mine vegetarian for the kids and added fresh salsa, Black Bean Fiesta, and feta cheese.
2 Easy Ways to Heat a Flour Tostada
For this recipe, I used a small skillet, over medium heat. I then added my flour tortilla to it (no oil) and heated for 1 minute per side. You will know they need to be flipped by the bubbles in the crust.
You can also toast them on a baking sheet in the oven (400 degrees f. ) for 3 minutes, flip, and then another 3 minutes on the opposite site.
