Sometimes when you are cooking things don't go the way you imagined. That's when it's most important to improvise, and be courageous enough to eat the results.
Today I made tostadas, kind of. I made refried beans, spicy rice and fried corn tortillas. I forgot to cook meat and we were out of peppers and onions. I had diced tomato in the refrigerator but forgot to add them. Sometimes new recipes are born of forgetfulness.
On the bottom was, of course, the corn tortilla. Then a layer of refried beans and then a layer of spicy rice, topped with another fried tortilla. We cut them with the pizza cutter and ate them sort of quesadilla style. They were delicious!
Here's the real recipe: Spicy Rice
Cook the desired amount of rice in chicken broth instead of water. When it's done add a small spoonful of chili sauce, or more if you like it really spicy. Add 1/4 cup tomato sauce and 2 T cream cheese. Stir until cheese melts and everything is combined. Eat it now or serve it as a side or in your favorite Mexican style dish!
