Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion. After about 3 minutes when onion is turning translucent add the Arizona Dreaming and stir. Add half the water, the tomatoes and the sweetener. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the beans and refrieds, the remaining water and heat through. Add the sour cream. Use a hand potato masher to halfway mash the whole beans (I found this step unnecessary).

Serve on tostada shells and garnish with chopped pepper, tomato and cheese.

Note: I used sodium free black beans.
