Refried beans are one of my go-to proteins in a meal if I am crunched for time. Many times I make a Vegan Spinach Quesadilla with them.
For something different, I decided to make these Mini Bean Tostadas. They are easy to make and make a great vegan appetizer for a party.
Because they are made in a muffin tin and their edges are curved, they hold the filling better than a typical flat tostada.
For the tostadas, you could use brown rice or corn tortillas, but let me tell you, after doing a long photo shoot with them, I prefer the corn tortillas. If you look closely in the photo you will see 3 brown rice tortilla tostadas and 2 corn tortilla tostadas (the corn are on the left).
The corn tortillas stayed crispy longer, and if you are serving these at a party, you definitely want them to hold their crispiness. You could use the leftover tortilla pieces in Vegan Chilaquiles.
