Loaded Bean and Cheese Tostadas

Here is another clean-out-the-fridge recipe! I recently made some soft tacos for dinner and a big batch of homemade refried beans and it was a tasty meal. I stumbled upon these small tajin tostada shells at the store recently and I had to get them for my kids who LOVE tajin seasoning. I used homemade beans but you can also use canned refried beans to made this recipe an extra quick and easy meal. These loaded bean and cheese tostadas were a big hit with the whole family and a tasty lunch using up leftovers.

    1. Katie,

      Tajin seasoning is tangy, salty and only a little bit spicy. It has a bright citrusy taste with touch of a red chile flavor. It’s really great on both sweet and savory foods–my kids sprinkle the seasoning on melon and tropical fruit.

      The tostada shells had a great flavor and a nice crunch.
