Description
Delicious Seven Layer Tostadas perfect for a quick meal or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz. refried beans
- 3/4 cup guacamole (see notes)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 tsp. Kalyn’s Taco Seasoning Mix (or use your favorite Taco Seasoning)
- 1 cup grated Four Cheese Mexican Blend
- 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 4 Mission Carb-Balance Low-Carb tortillas (see notes)
- about 2 tsp. olive oil for greasing baking sheet
Instructions
- Place a baking sheet inside the oven or toaster oven and let it get hot while you preheat oven to 450F/230C, about 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove baking sheet, drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil on it and spread around with a paper towel or pastry brush, and put flour tortillas on the baking sheet.
- Toast tortillas in the oven until they’re crisp and barely starting to brown, turning several times. This will take about 5 minutes, but watch them carefully.
- While tortillas are crisping, put the refried beans in a bowl, stir to break them apart, and microwave 2-3 minutes, or until they’re hot.
- Stir Kalyn’s Taco Seasoning Mix into the sour cream.
- Chop the onions, slice green onions, and slice the olives. (If you’re using homemade guacamole and cheese that needs to be grated you’ll need to prepare those as well.)
- Put crisped tortilla shell on a plate and top with ingredients in this order: a thin layer of refried beans, a thin layer of guacamole, a thin layer of seasoned sour cream, several generous pinches of finely grated low-fat cheese, chopped tomatoes, thinly sliced green onions, and sliced olives.
- Serve Seven Layer Tostadas right away, with salsa or hot sauce if desired.
- You can keep the topping ingredients in the fridge and crisp more tortillas later to use any leftovers.
Notes
- Feel free to customize toppings according to your preference.
- Homemade guacamole can be used instead of store-bought for fresher taste.
