Forget what you know about tostada recipes. This twist on a classic pairs the spiciness of jalapeño with the juicy sweetness of grapes and cool crispness of jicama for an old favorite reinvented.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 8 handmade-style corn tortillas
- Cooking spray as needed
- 1 cup black seedless California grapes, chopped

- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, seeded & finely chopped
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 1 (15-ounce) can vegetarian refried beans, warmed
Directions:

- Spread the beans on the tortillas and top them evenly with the salsa mixture.
