  • 3/4 c. tomato salsa - (about) Salt to taste Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Arrange pocket breads slightly apart on a 14- by 17-inch baking sheet. Spread 1/4 of the beans proportionately on each round.

  3. Bake in a 425 degree regular or possibly convection oven till pocket breads are crisp and cheese is melted, about 8 min (6 min in a convection oven). Transfer each round to a plate. Mound cabbage equally on rounds and top with cilantro. Serve tostadas with salsa and salt and pepper to add in to taste.

  5. Comments: Strips of grilled chicken or possibly beef, available in supermarket meat sections, add in low-fat protein to this quick take on a tostada.
