These black bean and green chili tostadas are quick, and easy to make at home, which will give you more time to spend with those you love.
Kroger, Smith’s in my neck of the woods, sent me a fun Movie Night package with Redbox rentals, movie candy, and their new PeakFection™ guacamole and salsa. Their guacamole and salsa is processed using a cold water, high-pressure processing technology, so it stays fresh longer. So you can keep it on hand in the fridge without worrying about having to use it up quickly.
The salsa and guacamole were the perfect addition to our tostadas. I wouldn’t hestitate to buy them at the market. The medium salsa kicked up the heat with a fresh tasting, not too chunky salsa; and the the guacamole complemented the salsa with a wonderful, fresh creamy coolness.
You could change up the tostada any way you wanted. I like black refried beans better, but use regular refried beans or your favorite taco meat if you prefer. If you like it really hot, you could even switch out the mild chilies for a few jalepenios.

I am finding I am turning to Tex Mex food frequently for a quick and surprisingly healthy meal. I think this is a good example. I will have to admit that anything with guacamole does get my vote without much effort. Ha!

Barbara – these looks sooo tempting! I agree with you about refried black beans – but then I’m a bit of a freak about black beans anyway. Thanks for a great recipe!
