Tostadas

Being from Texas I love Mexican food...and in particular I love TexMex. TexMex can mean different things to different people, but to me, some of the characteristics of TexMex are guacamole and queso. These tostadas don't have queso, but they do have guacamole, so I'll let you decide whether they're TexMex, Mexican, or something else entirely. Regardless, these guys are super easy to make.

Ingredients
~8 corn tostadas
-1 can refried beans
-1 small red onion, diced
~6 leaves of lettuce, diced
-1 C shredded Mexican cheese
~6 T low-fat sour cream
-1 T EVOO
Guacamole
-2 ripe avocados, mashed
-2 T lime juice
-1/4 C salsa
-garlic salt and pepper, to taste

Steps
(preheat oven to 350)
1. Make your guacamole. See this link for directions.
2. Saute you onion with EVOO for about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in refried beans and heat for about 3-4 minutes.

4. Spread about 2 T of bean mixture onto each tostada, then top with about 2 T shredded cheese. Heat in the oven for about 4 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

 5. Top tostadas with guacamole, lettuce, salsa, and sour cream.
