Lazy Tostada/Pizza

I wasn't in the mood to cook. We had company that just left so I've been cleaning all day and making some of our bulk foods like steelcut oats and hummus. I just didn't want to cook dinner. So, I whipped up these simple, yet tasty and unique pizza/tostadas.


I'd been excited to try these out after spotting them at Target - whole wheat pop cakes...

They're basically a large rice cake. Right when I saw them, I knew they'd be perfect for a twist on a tostada. Tonight, I tested them out...  I just warmed up a can of organic refried beans. Then layered the pop cake with mashed avocado (I added in some cumin and salsa), scooped on some beans, added chopped organic tomato, peppers, enchilada sauce and cilantro. It took 5 minutes and tasted rather gourmet... for a tostada ;-) Simple, healthy and delicious! My favorite kind of meal!!

POP CAKE TOSTADAS

What you need:

1 can organic refried beans
1-2 (per person) whole wheat pop cakes or tostadas
Topping ideas: tomato, cabbage, lettuce, avocado, cilantro, peppers, enchilada sauce, jalepenos, onion, salsa, a little cheese, Greek yogurt as sour cream sub
*Of course you can also add lean ground meat... but then you have to COOK haha!

-Eat right after topping the pop cake or it will get soggy!

**Next I am going to use these as a pita for a crunchy Greek delight ... Hummus, chicken, tomato, cucumber & feta

*Another option... Add some PB and a drizzle of honey and/or banana

The varieties are endless! I'm on a roll ;-)
