Step 1

In a food processor, add all the ingredients under Chipotle Sauce.

Step 2

Blend. Taste and adjust salt as needed.

Step 3

Heat up a pot on medium heat, once hot, add oil followed by the remaining onions you chopped up earlier. Saute for about 3 minutes – until the onions are translucent.

Step 4

Dump all the refried pinto beans into the pot.

Step 5

Stir the beans around.

Step 6

Add Taco Bell Mild Sauce (their Hot Sauce works too). Mix.

Step 7

Add taco seasoning.

Step 8

Let the beans heat up. Once hot, turn off the stove. Your beans are ready.

Step 9

Brush corn tortillas with avocado oil on both sides.

Step 10

Place tortillas in a toaster oven at 400 degrees. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.

Step 11

And now you have tostadas.

Step 12

Spread refried beans over the tostada. Note - use refried pinto beans, I used black beans since I didn't have pinto on hand.

Step 13

Top with shredded lettuce.

Step 14

Now drizzle 1-2 tbsp of Taco Bell sauce, I prefer hot or mild.

Step 15

Top with shredded cheese.

Step 16

Finish it off with chopped tomatoes and a drizzle of Chipotle Sauce.
