Fajita Tostadas (30 Minutes)

These delicious and healthy Fajita Tostadas take just 30 minutes to make.  They’re perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that’s both vegan and gluten-free.

Today, I’m sharing another recipe from the 30-Minute Dinner Challenge I hosted in April. I was tempted to make all my recipes Mexican-inspired, but I figured not everyone would appreciate it as much as I do, haha 🙂 I love these Fajita Tostadas because they combine two delicious Mexican recipes into one!

Fajitas are a perfect dinner option because they’re quick and easy to make and a great way to incorporate veggies.

For these Fajita Tostadas, I used the traditional fajita veggies (red pepper, green pepper, and onion) and added some yellow summer squash for color. And it just happens to be in season right now, so it’s very affordable!

I skipped the cheese and enjoyed my Fajita Tostadas with a few slices of creamy avocado instead.

Fajita Tostada Recipe Ingredients

• Vegetables – I used one red and one green pepper, cut into bit size thin strips, and one yellow squash (or zucchini), also cut into strips.
• Spices – This recipe calls for ground cumin, granulated garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
• Tostada shells – 
• Refried beans –  I like to use black refried beans.
• Optional – Shredded cheese
• Toppings – Salsa, hot sauce, avocado, and cilantro

How To Make These Easy Fajita Tostadas

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, fajita veggies, and spices. Mix together, cover with a lid, and let cook until the veggies are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. While the veggies are cooking, lay out the tostadas on a large sheet pan and spread each with 2 Tablespoons of refried beans. Once the veggies are finished cooking, divide them equally among the 8 tostadas and place them in the oven until the refried beans are heated through, about 5 minutes. If you are adding cheese, you can add it right before you put it in the oven and then bake until the cheese is melted.  Serving size is 2 tostadas per person.
