Instructions
- In a medium bowl, crumble the tempeh and mix it with the minced chipotle peppers and adobo sauce until well coated.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned tempeh and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is well browned and slightly crispy.
- While the tempeh cooks, prepare the tostada shells by spreading a generous layer of refried beans on each shell.
- Once the tempeh is ready, evenly distribute it on top of the refried beans on each tostada.
- Add slices of avocado, followed by the thinly sliced red onion and chopped cilantro for freshness and crunch.
- Serve the tostadas with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce on top.
- Feel free to customize the toppings – shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, or corn can also work beautifully.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought refried beans or even black bean spread.
