Pinto Bean and Potato Tostadas

Pinto Bean and Potato Tostadas

Pinto Bean and Potato Tostadas are quick, easy, and vegan, and delicious. Seasoned beans and potatoes piled high on shredded lettuce, topped with sliced avocado. I hesitate to label this as a lunch OR dinner recipe because it really can be both. I love creating recipes that serve as a meal for 2, or 4, or have leftovers for days!
