Tostadas With Chorizo

I love tostadas. And I used to be able to buy some brand of canned Refried Beans with Chorizo. Haven't been able to find them in years. So...I have come up with this.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

•  corn oil or  canola oil, for frying
• 6 -8  corn tortillas
• 2  pinches sea salt
• 1 (14 ounce) can  refried beans
• 1⁄4 lb  bulk chorizo sausage (or one fresh link)
• 1  cup  shredded cheddar cheese (combination) or 1  cup monterey jack cheese (combination) or 1  cup monterey jack pepper cheese (combination) or 1  cup  mexican cheese (combination)
• 1  romaine lettuce hearts or 1⁄2 head  shredded iceberg lettuce
• 2  plum tomatoes, diced or 8  grape tomatoes, quartered
•  diced avocado

Directions

1. Heat 1/8 to 1/4-inch oil over medium high heat. Fry tortillas 30 seconds on each side to light golden, 1 tortilla at a time. Drain tortillas on paper towels or brown paper sack. Season with a little sea salt while hot.
2. Saute chorizo in medium skillet over medium heat, breaking up the sausage into small pieces. When cooked, add the can of refried beans to the skillet to heat through. Mix chorizo and beans.
3. Spread hot beans on tortillas and top with a handful of shredded cheese, shredded lettuce and diced tomato pieces.
