Tostada Topped With Nopales Salsa

Today was my turn to cook dinner so I made tostadas. I fried corn tortillas in oil until they became hard. For topping the tostada I made some refriend beans and Cactus salad. For fried beans you can use a can or two of refried pinto beans (can be replaced by black beans or garbanzo which ever you prefer). What you want to do is add a little milk to the fried beans. This will help give them a better flavor and give them a better texture than just plain dry beans. For the salsa you get a bag of freshly cut cactus leaves from your local super market. Or you can get a bottle which are precooked. But you want to make sure you wash them good before making the salsa. You want to chop depending on how many people you are serving. I put in the salsa of course the boiled and cooled cactus, tomatoes, onion, cylantro, avocado, a little black pepper and salt and a few squirts of lime juice.
When serving you spread the refriend beans over the hard shell tortilla, then add the salsa over the beans. You can garnish with Messican fresh cheese or cheddar cheese. And if you dare a few squirt of tapatio to give it a kick. Thats what I had for dinner. With some ice fresh pineapple juice to go with it. If you want to know how to make the fresh pineapple juice let me know.
