STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2

Mix garlic salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper together in a small bowl.

Brush oil over both sides of tortillas and arrange them on a baking sheet.

6

Heat refried beans in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring regularly until hot, about 5 minutes.

7

Divide refried beans between tostadas, spread over one side of each; spoon ground beef mixture on top. Add lettuce, Cheddar cheese, and diced tomato as toppings.
