Poblano Pepper and Pinto Bean Tostadas Recipe

Tostadas are one of my favorite quick weeknight meals. Not only can they be healthy and packed with good for you veggies and beans, they are packed with flavor and come together in under thirty minutes. While the combinations are virtually endless, lately I have been loving the simple combo of pinto beans, poblano peppers, and zucchini flavored with lots of spices. The result is slightly spicy and smoky which in my mind is exactly what you want in a tostada. From there, pile on the toppings, and you're ready to eat.

3

Stir in the tomato paste, cumin, paprika, oregano, and coriander. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside one serving of beans and veggies for lunch.
