Black Bean Tostadas

By CannedFoodFan

A meal on an edible plate – so no dish to wash! Spiced, protein-rich black beans, stacked with veggies, need only simple assembly. One tostada apiece makes a light meal; double the recipe for a hearty meal.

• 1 teaspoon chili powder

• 1 cup washed and torn romaine lettuce leaves (if available in your cooler)
• 1 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained
