- Ingredients for refried beans
- 1 cup Mayocoba beans (or white bean of choice)
- 1/2 Jalapeno, cut longways
- 1/8th White Onion, roughly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
- 3 tablespoons Corn Oil
- Sea Salt to taste
- Tostadas
- 1 cup Mayocoba Beans, that we just made
- 1 Avocado
- 4 tablespoons Queso Fresco, crumbled
- 1/2 cup Red Onions, thinly sliced
- 1 Vine Ripe Tomato, sliced
- 1 Lime
- 3 tablespoons Lime Mayo

- - Heat the corn oil in a pan under medium heat.
- - Add the jalapeno and the onion into the oil and fry for about 2 minutes.
- - Remove oil from heat and allow to cool down for about 1 minute.
- - Introduce the beans into the oil, with about 1/3 cup of cooking liquid. Cook under low heat for about 10 minutes.
- - Add the cumin, black pepper, and salt to taste.
- - Mash the beans to a desired consistency. I like to keep them a little chunky
- - While your beans are cooking combine the sliced onions and tomatoes in a small bowl. Add the juice of the lime and a sprinkle of sea salt. Put aside.
- - Take a tostada shell and add a thin layer of lime mayo.
- - Add a spoonful of refried beans and spread all over the tostada.
- - Now add slices of avocado and sprinkle a bit of sea salt on each slice.
- - Layer slices of tomato and onions.
