These tasty babies are the cat's meow when it comes to Mexican food! Each contain about 200 calories and minimal fat.

Ingredients

1 box Flat Chalupa/Tostada Shells (4 shells total)

1 can Lowfat/non-fat refried beans

3 oz Shredded REAL Mozzarella Cheese

Large Bowl of Shredded Lettuce, Chopped Tomatoes, Diced Onions (optional),

Bell Peppers (optional)

Hot Sauce - as much as you want

Chili Powder (optional)

Cumin (optional)

Chopped Cilantro (optional)

Preparation

Spicy beans: mix the refried beans with a bit of chili powder and cumin (to your personal taste preference).

Smear 2 Tablespoons of beans onto a shell, then top with a bit of cheese and hot sauce. Pop into a microwave oven or a toaster oven until cheese melts. Carefully remove. Top with salad mix and chopped cilantro if desired. Sprinkle just a tab more of cheese on top and add additional hot sauce if desired.
