Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
3 tablespoons white onion, finely chopped
1 can (16 oz ) refried black beans
1 package (4.5 oz) tostadas (12 tostadas)
1 jar (15 oz) Nopales strips in brine, drained

1 large ripe avocado, cut into 24 slices
3/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

1

Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat. Stir in onions; cook about 2 to 3 minutes or until soft. Stir in refried beans. Cook for 2 to 3minutes until hot, stirring occasionally. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes, to keep tostadas from getting too soft.

To assemble tostadas: Spread 2 tablespoons refried bean mixture on each shell; top with 2 tablespoons nopales, 1 rounded tablespoon tomatoes, 1 scant tablespoon red onion, 2 slices avocado, and 1 tablespoon queso cotija. Sprinkle with cilantro.
