Ingredients

• 8 corn tortillas
• 2 tsp. canola oil
• 4 plum tomatoes
• 1 small jalapeño
• ½ small red onion
• 2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
• kosher salt
• Pepper
• ¼ c. chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 can refried beans
• Shredded romaine lettuce

Directions

1. Heat oven 425 degrees F. Brush the tortillas with canola oil. Place on baking sheets and bake until just crisp, about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a paper towel–lined wire rack to cool and harden.
2. Meanwhile, transfer the refried beans to a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high until heated through, 1 minute, stirring halfway through. In a medium bowl, toss together the tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Fold in the cilantro. Top the tostadas with the beans, tomato mixture, and lettuce, if desired.
