tostadas

this recipe is based on some of the best food i've ever eaten. back in the 'ham, i used to go to a hispanic family's house once a week to read with the kiddos and interact with the parents. the mom, rosa, fixed scrumptious food every time i was there...she was so gracious to feed me week after week. this is one of my absolute favorites!

crispy corn tostadas (you can find them in the mexican food section, or sometimes even in the bakery (at like walmart))
refried beans
cheese
sliced turkey
fresh avacado, diced
fresh lettuce, chopped
fresh tomatoes, diced
sour cream (in a ziploc bag, with a small cut in the bottom)
salsa verde (again, in the Mexican section-Pace is the BEST) (note: Rosa always made this homemade, but i haven't quite perfected it yet...so i just buy it)
lime, quartered

heat up your refried beans, then spread over tostadas. put a slice of turkey on top (cut into circles if you really want to make it right!)...then top with cheese. drop on some salsa verde, then squirt on sour cream. then, spread veggie toppings on! squeeze a little lime on.. and ENJOY!!
