Method
1
Heat the canned refried beans in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and slightly loosened, about 3-4 minutes.
2
Add the chopped onion and taco seasoning mix to the warm beans and stir well to combine evenly with the seasoning throughout.
3
Warm the tostada shells according to the package directions, typically by placing them in a 350°F oven for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
4
Lay out the warmed tostada shells on a work surface and spread or layer approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the seasoned bean mixture onto each shell.
5
Sprinkle shredded lettuce evenly over the beans on each tostada, using about ¼ cup per shell.
6
Top each tostada with shredded cheddar cheese, using about 1 tablespoon per shell.
7
Arrange the thinly sliced avocado pieces on top of the cheese, distributing them evenly across all four tostadas.
8
Add the sliced ripe olives (if using) as a garnish over the avocado.
9
Serve the assembled tostadas immediately while the beans are still warm, with taco sauce on the side for drizzling or dipping.
