A Saturday Lunch: Pork Tostados

A typical conversation between Nick and I regarding food:
Me: What do you want to eat?
Nick: Whatever, I'm hungry, so anything that's quick
45 minutes later....


It's become sort of a joke.  This Saturday, Nick was on his way home from tutoring, and I needed to make something quick.  "Quick" in my book is somewhere between a half hour and an hour :)


I had leftover pork in the fridge from Tuesday, so figuring this was my last chance to use it, I chose pork tostados.  I didn't have any tostado shells, so I fried some corn tortillas in vegetable oil:

I refried some black beans that Nick had cooked in the pressure cooker while I was out of town.  I added onions, garlic, cumin, oregano, and salt.  I mashed them once they had cooked a bit:

Finally, I set to work assembling the tostados: fried tortilla, refried beans, leftover pork, peppers, cheese, salsa, and sour cream:
