Easy Weeknight Vegetarian Tostadas Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Easy Weeknight Vegetarian Tostadas Recipe). Toppings can be changed according to your personal tastes. My family likes to first spoon a dollop of beans onto the tortilla and spread it out, then top with shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, green onions, black olives, avocado, lettuce, sour cream, taco sauce, and chunky salsa. These are also great with fajita seasoned steak or chicken. My family usually eats 2 per person, but we sometimes eat 3. Have extra tortillas on hand in case someone is extra hungry.
