- First, prepare your beans by blending together the beans, onion, bell pepper and jalapeño.
- Pour this whole mixture in a frying pan with 3-4 Tbsp. canola oil to fry until the bean mixture has dried out, 5-10 minutes.
- Next, fry your corn tortillas in a few more Tbsp. canola oil 2-3 minutes on each side or until toasted and crispy.

Recipe Notes
Recipe adapted from co-op staff member, America Jimenez.
If you wanted to add meat to this dish, you could sauté ground beef with red chile, and tomato. Once cooked through, add to blender with beans and fry the entire mixture before topping your tostada.
