Beans and Rice Tostadas Cooking tips:
I use avocado oil when I cook but any oil you have will work. Also, feel free to cook your eggs to your liking. You can use the leftover beans and rice for a Mexican bowl with your choice of protein or use them for additional toppings for tacos.
I like to add an over easy egg on top this dish sometimes.
Can you make ahead?
Freezer: The rice is the only thing I recommend freezing. After the rice cools, place in a freezer storage bag. Keep in freezer for 3 months max.
Fridge: Toastadas are best made the day of. After the rice and beans cool, place in an airtight container. Keep in fridge for 7 days max.
Reheating: Rice: Turn on heat to medium, bring a small amount of water to a boil in a small or medium sauce pan, stir in rice, cook until mixture starts to boil. About 10 minutes or less. *Depends on how much you’re reheating.
*A 1/4 cup will be enough for 2 servings.
Beans: Turn on heat to medium, bring a small amount of water to a boil in a small or medium sauce pan, stir in beans cook until mixture starts to boil. About 10 minutes or less. *Depends on how much you’re reheating.
*A 1/4 cup will be enough for 2 servings.
