Ingredients

Homemade Tostadas

6 corn Tortillas
Oil for brushing
salt

Soycurls

4 ounces Butler Soy Curls™ (about half a package)
1 teaspoon Bragg's liquid aminos
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast flakes
1/4 teaspoon chili powder or cayenne pepper
Salt to taste

For The Toppings

1 recipe for refried beans or 1 can store-bought
1 cup lettuce sliced
1 avocado chopped
1 medium tomato chopped
1/3 cup red onion chopped
1/4 cup jalapeno slices
6 tablespoons Sour Cream or store-bought
cilantro for garnish

Instructions

To Make Tostada Shells

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush tortillas with oil and sprinkle with salt. Place tortillas on a baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes, turning halfway, until tortillas are lightly brown and crispy.
Remove from oven and allow to cool. Now they are ready to add your favorite tostada toppings, or you can store them into a ziplock bag or airtight container for 3 days.

To Prepare The Soycurls

Soak soy curls in warm water for 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess liquid, and add Bragg's Liquid Aminos, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, yeast flakes, cayenne, and salt.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high, and add seasoned soy curls and cook until they become brown on the edges and slightly crispy, or about 6 minutes. Set aside.

To Prepare The Tostadas

Heat refried beans in a saucepan on medium heat, stirring until warm, or about 4 minutes. Spread refried beans over tostada shells evenly. The refried beans act as a glue for the other toppings to stick to.
Top with soy curls, lettuce, avocado, tomato, red onion, and jalapeno, and drizzle with the sour cream. Garnish with cilantro and lime.
