Cooking After Class: Bean and Pico Tostadas

When you are in need of a meal that you can prepare in less than 10 minutes, give these Bean and Pico Tostadas a try. They aren’t fancy but any means but they are pretty tasty for the amount of time and effort you have to put into serving dinner.

To make these a little healthier, you could make your own tostadas. If you go this route, it will increase the prep time a bit. Still a super quick meal to prepare but it is an added step. I went the quick and easy route tonight and bought premade tostadas at Aldi.

Another option is to make the pico de gallo yourself. Again, I chose the easy option and bought a premade package. Jewel had them buy one get one free which worked out perfectly since I needed it for another dish I made this week, Shrimp and Black Bean Tacos.
