Ingredients

Scale
Tostadas
  • 10-12 corn tortillas
  • 1-2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Jackfruit
  • 1 large can green jackfruit
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • Salt to taste

Refried Beans:

  • 2 cups cooked beans (click for homemade bean recipe)
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 1 small serrano or jalapeño pepper, diced (optional but recommended)
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 1/2 cup water (or more depending on how you like them)
  • Salt to taste
Other toppings:
  • 1/2 cup red pickled onions
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 3 tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Vegan sour cream (optional)
  • Tapatio or homemade salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F (204 C).
  2. Lightly brush each corn tortilla on each side with avocado oil or any other neutral oil you have. Lightly salt and set on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 5-6 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown.
  4. While tostadas are baking, open can of jackfruit. Drain and rinse well to get rid of the brine flavor.
  5. Turn a pan on medium heat and add avocado oil. Quickly shred jackfruit with hands and add to pan. Pan-fry for about 5 minutes.
  6. Add soy sauce, maple syrup, chili powder and pinch of salt. Mix in well and let cook for another 7-10 minutes until kit gets golden brown then set aside.
  7. Once tostadas have cooled off begin to add toppings! I find it best to spread refried beans first and then jackfruit > pickled onions > tomato slices > shredded cabbage > avocado slices > salsa/tapatio > sour cream drizzle > cilantro.
Refried Beans:
  1. Turn a pan on medium heat and add oil. Once it’s hot, add onion, and serrano pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add beans and water. Wait until they simmer for 2 minutes. Once they are heated all the way through, use the backside of your spatula to mash them until you get your desired consistency.
  3. Add more water if you want then a little runnier. Taste and add salt as needed. 
  4. Turn the stove off and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
