Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🍹 if you need a reason to have a margarita or Mexican food, today’s your day! 🇲🇽 😂 This is a Blue Zone inspired recipe- meaning it’s meat free!
.
I fried the beans a bit like my family does to take this recipe up a notch! (The original recipe just uses whole beans that will roll off the tostada) This little step turns an “okay” vegetarian dish to great! The refried beans go on a crispy tostada and are topped with your favorite toppings. It’s a simple weekday dinner. Let your friends and family top their own tostadas like taco night. Oh, and for the adults, I made one of my favorite easy tequila drinks- the MATADOR. I learned it while traveling because it only requires 3 ingredients- pineapple juice, lime and tequila.

Enjoy these Mexican inspired recipes for Cinco de mayo or just a sunny day! Salud!🍻
