Crisp Corn Tortillas covered with Refried Beans, Cheese, and chopped Tomatoes then topped with Lettuce, Avocado, and a drizzle of Ranch Dressing.
I served these up for a Meatless Mexican Monday last night but decided they were perfect to share with you for Taco Tuesday. They are quick, easy and your family will love them.
I started off with soft corn tortillas so I sprayed them with olive oil and air-fried them until crisp. This only takes about 5 or 6 minutes. While the tortillas are crisping you can chop the tomatoes, shred the lettuce, and slice or dice the avocado. You could also use store-bought tostada shells and save this step.
Spread the crisped tortillas with beans, cheese, and tomatoes. Put them back into the air fryer for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.
Now the pizzas are ready for the toppings of your choice. I place out lettuce, avocados, and ranch dressing and let everyone add their own toppings.
Make these your own!! You can use sour cream instead of the ranch dressing. Sometimes I put out olives and diced sweet peppers. When it is not Meatless Monday or Lent you can add some seasoned ground beef to your pizzas after the beans and before the cheese and tomatoes.
Yield: 4 servings (2 pizzas per serving)

That's what we had for lunch yesterday, but I didn't know they were pizzas. I thought they were just tortillas with refried black beans (home made) and cheese and veggies. We used some Lizano salsa from Costa Rica.

I have always called them tostadas but my daughter orders the Mexican Pizzas from Taco Bell and that's what she gets so I stole the name.
