Tostadas



Tostada Shells
Ingredients:
1 - 1 1/2 cups of oil (enough to deep fry the tortillas in)
Corn tortillas

In a very small skillet, heat up the oil on med-high heat. You can test the oil to see if it is hot enough by sticking a small part of one of the tortillas in the oil. If it starts to bubble when you put the tortilla in, it is hot enough. With tongs, put the tortilla in the hot oil and lightly press the middle down. Leave it in the oil for about 10 seconds and then flip over and repeat. When the tortilla looks like ones in the picture above, take it out and dab it dry with a paper towel. Viola! You have a tostada shell!

Refried Beans:
2 cans of refried beans
3 tbsp. of margarine
1/5 cup of milk
salt
garlic salt

Put margarine in warm pan. Add the beans and mix until warm. Add the milk and mix well. Salt and garlic to taste.

As for the rest of the tostada....add whatever ingredients you like on your tostadas and enjoy!
