Managing a Healthy Daily Diet on a Limited Budget

Healthy Tostados

If you're limited on your food budget, our recipe for healthy Tostados can stretch your money a long way. A can of beans, a bit of salad, a few tostada shells - and you'll have a tasty, inexpensive meal ready in minutes.

Simply open and drain a can of your favorite brand of pinto beans. We like to rinse them a bit, too.

Next, heat them on the stove top, then remove and mash carefully with a smashing tool. Add chili powder (1 -3 Tablespoons, depending upon personal preference) then return to the heat until hot. Smear onto tostada shell, then sprinkle with cheese.

Pop into the microwave until cheese melts. Top with chopped lettuce, tomato and onion. Add salsa and light sour cream if desired.

You can also use a package of taco seasoning rather than the chili powder if desired.
