{quick} dinner

i love experimenting with new recipes and ingredients.  but, on those nights when putting dinner on the table seems like an insurmountable task, i refer to my list of "slam dunks." 

tostadas are one of them.

i'm a vegetarian, the hubby isn't.  i love black beans, the kids don't. tostadas give everyone the opportunity the build their own dinner, while everyone is still eating the same meal (i hope that makes sense?).

i bake the corn tortillas in the oven until they're crispy. then set out bowls of ingredients: beans, rice, veggies, and cheeses are just a start.  try offering new ingredients each time, even themed tostadas (mediterranean, spanish, italian).  the kids are surprisingly willing to eat when they have a say.

it's quick, healthy, and i can usually throw it together with whatever is on hand.  definitely a slam dunk!
