Chalupas


1 average size can fat free refried beans
1 packet taco seasoning
1/4 cup water
Shredded cheddar cheese
Chopped lettuce (optional)
Diced tomatoes (optional)
Diced Avocado (optional)
Sour Cream (optional)
5-10 corn tortillas

Pre heat oven to 475.

Place corn tortillas on pizza pan. Bake for 5 minutes then take out and flip tortillas. Place back in the oven for 5 minutes. Watch closely so you don't over cook these. They should be crispy but not burnt ;)

Take out of oven after 5 minutes and set aside.

In a small mixing bowl mix taco seasoning, water and beans. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Spread mixture evenly over tostada, place on pizza pan and sprinkle each tortilla with shredded cheddar. Place in the oven at 350 until cheese is melted and bean mixture is heated through. (usually 5 minutes)

Take out of oven and top with desired toppings. SO YUMMY!!!

1 can of beans will easily make 10-12 chalupas. Usually I 1/2 this recipe and just save the bean mixture for another day. Very kid friendly too!

These bad boys minus the sour cream and avocado are only 100 calories EACH =) Just use reduced fat cheese =)
