Method
- 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
Mash the beans thoroughly with a potato masher, adding a splash of water to reach a thick, spreadable consistency. Season with salt.
- 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes and toss with lime juice, coriander and a pinch of salt to make a simple pico de gallo.
- 4
Spread the warm refried beans generously onto the tostadas.
- 5
Top each tostada with shredded lettuce, pico de gallo and a few pickled jalapeño slices. Arrange in bowls and serve immediately.
