RICE AND BEAN TOSTADAS

Can I just say one thing? Why did I wait so long to make these! They were so easy and, I had everything I needed in my fridge and pantry, just sitting there whispering tostadas.... tostadas.... TOSTADAS! It was actually Jason's brilliant idea, he's a pretty smart guy, and has good ideas for new and exciting ways to eat our everyday favorite foods, that's one reason I keep him around ;p

You can feel good about eating these, they will not weigh you down like oily, greasy, fried tostadas. This was made in your kitchen, so you control the ingredients, and you and your family get to enjoy easy delicious food that fuels you instead of hurting you!
I kind of feel silly making a post about these since they are really easy, but I just had to share because that's what this blog is all about SIMPLE, FAST, DELICIOUS VEGAN FOOD! If it's not easy and tasty no one would want eat this way. It doesn't have to be complicated to meet our needs for healthy, family friendly, amazing food. You guys this is super simple, healthy, and so satisfying!

Here's what we used, but you know what I'm going to say... use what you have, and what you like.
I always have leftover rice and pinto beans in the fridge. I batch cook both because, those are our favorites. We mixed the rice, beans, salsa and seasonings to taste and popped it in the microwave to heat it up. I'll post a list of the seasonings we used here:
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Chili powder
Cumin powder
Creole spice blend (Tony Chachere's is what we use)

Now we start layering:
Baked Corn Tortillas or pre-made (I found these oil free Baked ones, they are gooood)
Mixed Salad or Romine or Iceberg or Spinach or None, whatever you like.
2 or 3 spoonfuls of the Rice and Bean mixture
Salsa (Pace Picante medium is our favorite)
Guacamole (I mix avocado with garlic and onion powder, lime juice and salsa, so easy and so delish)
DONE, EAT IT AND GO BACK FOR MORE!!! NO WAIT snap picture and tag me on social media so I can see your delicious creations and how you made them! Instagram: @theplanteaters  The Plant Eaters on Facebook
