Toast the tortillas until they're fully crisp and rigid before topping them — an undertoasted tostada will go soft and buckle under the beans and toppings.
Instructions:
- Toast the Tortillas: Brush the tortillas lightly with oil and toast in a dry skillet or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, until crisp.
- Spread the Beans: Spread each tostada with a layer of warm refried beans.
- Top: Top with scrambled tofu, salsa, and vegan cheddar.
- Garnish: Garnish with avocado and cilantro.
- Serve: Serve with lime wedges.
Notes: Press the tofu firmly before using — excess moisture keeps it from browning or absorbing marinade properly.
Tips: Taste as you go and adjust seasoning to your preference before serving.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Swaps: Extra-firm tofu can be swapped for firm tofu (press longer) or tempeh for a firmer, nuttier bite.
This recipe leans on a handful of key ingredients to get its flavor and texture right. The refried black beans adds protein and a creamy texture that bulks up the dish. The scrambled tofu provides protein and soaks up the surrounding flavors. The avocado adds a buttery creaminess and healthy fat.
