Bean & Cheese Tostada

Step 2: Mash the beans

    • simmered beans

  • Refried beans

    • salt
      to taste
    • lime juice
      to taste

Using a potato masher or fork, mash the beans until they are mostly broken down, but you can make this smoother or chunkier depending on your preference.

  • If you want it thicker, let it simmer for an additional couple of minutes so more moisture evaporates.

Once you’ve reached your desired texture, shut off the heat and taste. Adjust with salt and a squeeze of lime juice as needed.
