Ingredients

  • 1 Pack Corn tortillas (Most packages have 12 tortillas)
  • 2 Bags Frozen Sweet Corn (If its in season you can use fresh sweet corn)
  • 1/2 Cup Vegan Mayo
  • 1/2 tbsp Vegan Butter
  • 1 Package Vegan Queso Fresco
  • 1 tsp Fresh Lime Juice
  • Vegan Oil Free Refried Bean Recipe or 1 can of Vegan Refried Beans
  • Red onion
  • Cilantro
  • Chili Powder

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven to 350℉
  • Place another smaller baking sheet on top of the tortillas. The weight from the other baking sheet will help keep the tortillas flat while they bake in the oven.
  • Bake tortillas for 15 minutes. Take out of the oven, flip tortillas over and bake for another 5 minutes. At this step carefully brush both side of the tortilla with fresh lime juice and sprinkle with salt.
  • While the tortillas are baking, prepare the corn.
  • Cook corn according to package instructions. I use frozen corn that comes in the steamer bags. Mess free and cooks in minutes. In the summer I prefer to use grilled corn on the cob in this recipe.
  • When the corn is finished cooking add butter and lime juice and set aside to slightly cool.
  • When the corn is warm add the vegan mayo and ¾ Cup of vegan queso fresco and set aside. If the mayo is added when the corn is hot the corn mixture will become very runny.
  • When the corn tortillas are finished baking they should be nice and crispy.
  • Feel free to lightly brush both side of tostadas with more lime juice and sprinkle with salt. This step is optional.
  • To assemble your tostadas, first layer your refried beans, and then scoop your corn mixture on top.
  • Top with your favorite toppings such as a squeeze of fresh lime juice, more vegan queso fresco, freshly chopped red onion, or cilantro.
