  • Yield: 8 tostadas

  • Heat refried beans in a pot over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, 3 to 5 minutes. Place in a serving bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry 1 tortilla until crispy and slightly browned, 10 to 30 seconds per side; be careful not to burn. Place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding more oil as needed and stacking with paper towels in between to soak excess oil.
  • Put cheese, lettuce, avocado, sour cream, green onions, tomatoes, and olives in separate small bowls with spoons for serving. Let everyone prepare their own tostada to taste.
