Ingredients:

  • 1 tortilla
  • 1/3 cup kidney beans
  • 1/2 cup chopped kale
  • 3 tablespoons shredded cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon picante sauce

Instructions:

  1. Toast the tortilla in a dry pan until it becomes a little crisp.
  2. Warm the beans with a spoonful of water, cumin, and garlic powder, mashing lightly.
  3. Saute kale for 1 to 2 minutes or use it fresh if you prefer crunch.
  4. Spread beans over the tortilla, then add kale and cheddar.
  5. Warm until the cheddar softens, then spoon picante sauce on top.

Why it works: It feels like a simple tostada, with creamy beans, melty cheese, and bright sauce.

Optional: Add guacamole or chopped tomato.
