Method

  1. 1

    Drain and rinse the pinto beans. Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the crushed garlic for 1 minute, then add the beans and cumin and cook for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mash the beans thoroughly with a potato masher, adding a splash of water to reach a thick, spreadable consistency. Season with salt.

  3. 3

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and toss with lime juice, coriander and a pinch of salt to make a simple pico de gallo.

  4. 4

    Spread the warm refried beans generously onto the tostadas.

  5. 5

    Top each tostada with shredded lettuce, pico de gallo and a few pickled jalapeño slices. Arrange in bowls and serve immediately.
