These delicious Bean and Cheese Tostadas with Roasted Tomatillo Salsa are packed with flavor and so easy … make them tonight!

Bean and Cheese Tostadas with Roasted Tomatillo Salsa | Hello Little Home #Mexican #recipe #CincoDeMayo

There is something about food that you eat with your hands that is so satisfying. From burritos to burgers (veggie, please) to pizza, I love these casual, slightly messy foods!

These Bean and Cheese Tostadas are no exception.

They’re crispy, cheesy, and all around delicious. Plus, everyone gets to add their favorite toppings, including a spicy Roasted Tomatillo Salsa, which makes them perfect for a party … Cinco de Mayo, anyone?

Bean and Cheese Tostadas

You don’t need to wait for a special occasion to serve these Bean and Cheese Tostadas though.

They’re easy enough to make any night of the week, and are perfect for those days you need a little Mexican pick-me-up (margaritas are optional)!

If you’ve never cooked with tomatillos or made your own salsa before, this is a great recipe to start with. You can find the ingredients in any grocery store, it’s easy to make, and the bold flavor will impress anyone you serve it to.

Bean and Cheese Tostadas with Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

These Bean and Cheese Tostadas are full of flavor and so simple to make ... serve them tonight!
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time30 mins
Total Time40 mins
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 8 tostadas
Author: Ginnie

Ingredients

For Salsa:

  • non-stick cooking spray
  • 4 medium tomatillos, peeled
  • 1 poblano pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt

For Beans:

  • 2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans, lightly drained
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • salt

For Tostadas:

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1/2 pint grape tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 cup black olives, quartered
  • 3 large romaine lettuce leaves, shredded
  • 3 large green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Instructions

Prepare Salsa:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat a medium baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place tomatillos, poblano pepper, garlic cloves (with peel), and onion on pan.
  • Drizzle vegetables with olive oil, then toss to coat. Season with salt.
  • Place pan in oven and roast until veggies start to blacken, about 20 - 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Remove veggies from oven. Place poblano pepper in a resealable plastic bag and set remaining vegetables aside to cool.
  • When poblano is cool, take it out of the bag. Remove the stem, seeds, and as much of the peel as possible.
  • Place the poblano, tomatillos, onion, and any liquids in a food processor. Remove peel from garlic and add it, as well.
  • Pulse vegetables until you have a chunky salsa. Season generously to taste with salt. Set aside.

Prepare Beans:

  • Place in a medium bowl, along with cumin, oregano, chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well.
  • Mash about 3/4 of the beans with a spoon. Add a little water if they're too dry. Set aside.

Prepare Tostadas:

  • Place corn tortillas on a baking sheet in a single layer. Put in oven and cook for 3 - 5 minutes on each side, or until crisp. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Spread beans over baked tortillas and top with shredded cheese.
  • Bake tostadas until hot, about 5 to 10 minutes.
