Instructions

  1. Pour the oil into a small deep frying pan or saucepan to a depth of about 2 cm and heat over a medium-high flame to 180C. A corner of tortilla dropped in should bubble briskly at once without browning instantly.
  2. Fry the 2 tortillas one at a time, holding each flat with tongs for the first few seconds so it does not curl. Give them 1-2 minutes, turning once, until deep golden, blistered and rigid. Lift onto kitchen paper and season with 1 pinch of salt while hot.
  3. Put the 120 g of refried beans in a small pan over low heat with a splash of water and stir for 2-3 minutes until glossy and soft enough to spread without cracking the tostada.
