Tostadas

Ingredients:

6-8 tostada shells
(you can also buy soft corn tortillas and either pan fry them till crisp,
or coat them with oil and bake at 350 till crisp - about 10-15 minutes)
1 can refried beans
1/2 cup rice (I like brown)
1 cup water
taco sauce
olives (slice)
tomatoes (diced)
avocado
grated cheese
sour cream
lettuce
other taco toppings

Directions:

Boil 1 cup water and add 1/2 cup rice. Cook till water is absorbed.
Add refried beans and a little taco sauce. Heat through.
Prepare tostada shells (warm them or crisp them).

Spread a layer of bean filling on each tortilla.
My kids like to use the toppings to make faces on their tostadas.
Olives or tomatoes make good eyes and noses.
Taco sauce can be "drawn" on like a mouth.
Grated cheese looks kind of like hair.
This is probably my kids favorite way to eat beans. :)
