Crispy air fryer tostadas (Quick & easy vegan recipe)

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

shredded cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds flavor without dairy.

refried beans

🥗Healthier: black bean puree

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans are often less expensive and can be pureed for a similar texture.

Place a corn tortilla in the air fryer basket and weigh it down with something oven-safe to prevent it from flying up.

Air fry at 390°F for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through.

For baking, place corn tortillas on a baking sheet and optionally spray with oil for crispiness.

Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Spread a generous spoonful of refried beans over the crispy tortilla.

Add shredded cabbage mix on top of the beans.

Spoon some salsa over the cabbage.

Add pickled red onion for tang.

Top with pickled jalapeños for heat.

Spoon avocado or guacamole on top.

Finish with fresh cilantro.
