Ten-Minute Tostadas & Tomato Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette

Woohoo! I hope you like tomatoes, because this recipe is chock full o' pre-ketchup goodness.

These bean-and-cheese tostadas were delicious and the aptly titled tomato salad tasted great, especially on top of the tostadas. The dinner was really quick to make, especially if your stove doesn't take an eternity to preheat, like mine! Just a quick assembly of the tostadas for the baking, during which you can prepare the salad, though Sean suggested doing this a few hours in advance so the dressing could seep into the tomatoes. Pfft, I'm too much of a rebel to follow society's rules, I make my tomato salad on the fly!

This is a great quick-'n-healthy meal! The beans provide lots of fiber and protein [though I wouldn't advise being among fancy company for at least a day], the cheese provides calcium, and the tomatoes provide some serious lycopene, which is thought to lower the risk of cancer!

1) Sean is correct about marinating the tomatoes.
2) Where did he get those pants...
did they have a yard sale at his work?
3) Do you even know any fancy company?

Lol, they were the coolest pants available, I'm sure.

And I choose not to address the other two points!

Classic chef pants, you can even bleach that material!
