Chickpea Tostadas

Ingredients

• 1 can chickpeas

• ½ small onion, diced fine

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• Olive oil

• 2 chipotles in adobo, chopped

• ¼ teaspoon cumin

• ¼ teaspoon chili powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• Freshly cracked black pepper

• Tostada shell

• La Morenita Queso Fresco

• Avocado, diced and seasoned

• Pickled jalapenos

• Fresh cilantro, diced

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a pot with a lid. Once hot, add the onion and cook until softened. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.

2. Add the chickpeas and remaining ingredients and cover with the lid, letting cook for about 6-8 minutes.

3. Mash the chickpeas with a potato masher until they reach a refried bean consistency. You can add a few splashes of chicken/vegetable broth to thin it slightly, if needed.

4. Warm the tostada shell, or fry a tortilla to make a tostada.

5. Spread the warm chickpea mixture on a tostada, then top with Queso Fresco and the toppings of your choice, like avocado or pickled jalapenos.
