Instructions

  1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden-brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in chipotle, adobo sauce and garlic powder, and cook, stirring frequently, until coated, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  2. Spread refried beans evenly over each tostada and top with mushroom mixture. Garnish with avocado, red onion, jalapeno and cilantro. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Make it with shrimp! Start by cooking mushrooms in the first step. Then, add shrimp and cook until they turn fully cooked and pink, which usually takes around 2 to 3 minutes. Next, stir in chipotle, adobo sauce, and garlic powder, ensuring they coat the ingredients evenly. Cook for approximately 1 minute while stirring frequently. Finally, season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
