Optional Toppings

Spray aluminum foil with non-stick spray. Place tortillas on foil and lighlty spray the top of them and place in toaster. Toast until slightly crisp - 5-10min, flipping them over halfway and lightly spraying again.
Meanwhile to make the "cheater's guacamole" mash the avocado and a pinch of salt with a fork - simple and delicious. (Should amount to 1/4 cup)
Once tortillas are crisp, top each with beans and then cheese and return to toaster for a few minutes until cheese melts.
Remove the tostadas from the toaster and top with guacamole and salsa or other toppings.

*Trader Joe's makes vegetarian salsa style refried beans that work really well.
** If I go to Baja Fresh for lunch I like to take home some extra pico de gallo and salsa from the salsa bar to use on these. You must take advantage of the free salsa bar!
