Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Zest and quarter lime. Mince jalapeño, removing ribs and seeds for less heat. • Open and drain tofu; press out excess water with paper towels. In a large bowl, crumble tofu into small pieces (similar to the texture of ground meat).
• Drizzle tortillas with 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings); brush or rub to coat both sides. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer (divide between 2 sheets for 4). Gently prick each tortilla in a few places with a fork. • Bake on top rack, flipping halfway through, until lightly golden, 4-5 minutes per side. (For 4, bake on top and middle racks; flip tortillas and swap rack positions halfway through.) TIP: Watch carefully— tortillas brown fast!
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine tomato, scallion greens, juice from half the lime, and a pinch of salt and pepper. • In a small bowl, combine sour cream and lime zest. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add refried beans and cook until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Add another drizzle of oil, tofu, Mexican Spice Blend, and ½ tsp salt (1 tsp for 4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is browned, 3-5 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrate and ½ cup water (¾ cup for 4). Simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• Divide tortillas between plates; spread each with refried beans. Top with tofu mixture, pico de gallo, Mexican cheese blend, and crema. Sprinkle with as much jalapeño as you like; serve tostadas with remaining lime wedges on the side.

- Suggestions: Consider adding jalapeños to the pico for heat, and mix spices with crumbled tofu for even coating.

Reviews from our home cooks
My rating is based mostly on the prep. This is very involved for tostadas. First, pico needs a bit of heat, I added some of the jalapeños to it... for those who want it milder, this could be optional. Next, the beans did not need oil or butter, just a bit of water to thin them out. Adding the spice blend to the pan ended up with the tofu unevenly coated, I would mix it in after crumbling.
These were excellent what can I say. The tofu made them SO filling so a serving for me 2 not 3. I would've been fine with them just being the black beans, no tofu, but for those who want it, this was a great addition.
This was surprisingly tasty!!! I try to include a veggie based meal and a "try something new" type of meal and got this and really loved it!!!! Will get again when it's available next
These are pretty huge between the tofu & black beans. I think it would be just as good without the tofu.
Delicious! The sour cream lime sauce wasn't great. My kids said it tasted like candy
Good dish but the tomatoes and green onion were not very fresh.
