Smashed Pea and White Bean Tostada

Dear Turkey,

Have you noticed that

Anything with the name "smashed

Peas" is trendy now?

Smashed Pea and White Bean Tostada

(serves 4)

Ingredients:

- 1 15 oz can small white beans, rinsed and drained

- About the same amount of peas (I used frozen, microwaved them, and threw them into the same colander to drain)

- 2-3 T lemon juice (I used bottled), start with 2 T and then taste it and see if you want more

- 2 T olive oil

- 1/2 t garlic powder

- 1/2 t salt

- 1/2 t black pepper

- 1 t basil (I used dried)

- 1 t cumin

- 4 taco-size tortillas (I used flour)

- 1 or 2 avocados, sliced

- paprika and grape tomatoes, for garnish

Instructions:

- Combine the first 9 ingredients in a big bowl and mash with a fork or a masher. No need to bother with the food processor. It's okay if most of the peas don't get mashed (because they are "smashed").

- Divide the spread between 4 tortillas. I then toasted mine in the toaster oven until everything was warm and the tortilla just started to get crispy; I highly recommend this step.

- Top with avocado, sprinkle with paprika, and serve with tomatoes.

Enjoy,

Tofu
